Candidatus Dirofilaria hongkongensis as Causative Agent of Human Ocular Filariosis after Travel to India

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We report a human case of ocular Dirofilaria infection in a traveler returning to Austria from India. Analysis of mitochondrial sequences identified the worm as Candidatus Dirofilaria hongkongensis, a close relative of Dirofilaria repens, which was only ...

Cytological diagnostics of subcutaneous dirofilariasis imitating proliferative lesions in dogs

Veterinární Medicína, 2020
Subcutaneous dirofilariasis is a disease in animals caused by invasions of nematodes, most often of the following species: Dirofilaria repens, D. tenuis, and D. striata transmitted by mosquitoes. Until recently, D. repens was endemic to the Mediterranean

Dirofilaria repens Infection Mimicking Lung Melanoma Metastasis

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2019
Abstract We describe a rare case of Dirofilaria repens infection presenting as peripheral lung nodules and mimicking a metastatic focus from a previously diagnosed cutaneous melanoma. To avoid invasive investigations before arriving at the correct diagnosis, dirofilariasis should be included as a part of the diagnostic process in ...

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Dirofilaria immitis Infection and First Molecular Characterization in Domestic Dogs From Areas of Northwest Mexico

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Dirofilaria immitis is a parasitic nematode of veterinary importance and zoonotic risk that has been reported in central and southern states of México, as a parasite of domestic and wild dogs. However, in the northwestern area of the country, its presence and prevalence are unknown.

First cases of canine dirofilariosis inSlovakia: a case report

Veterinární Medicína, 2005
Dogs from two locations in West Slovakiasuspected to have dirofilariosis were tested with the help of microfilariae detection, histochemical identification of microfilaria species and Dirofilaria immitis specific antigen detection in the blood serum. Six

Polymerase chain reaction—identification of Dirofilaria repens and Dirofilaria immitis

Parasitology, 1996
SUMMARYOn the basis of known DNA sequences of Dirofilaria repens and D. immitis we designed specific primers for the amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of the DNA from the two species. The PCR-based identification was found to be unambiguous and allowed specific diagnosis of microfilariae in blood samples, of developing larvae in the ...

Diagnosis and Treatment of Dirofilaria immitis in Two Cats From Italy

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
Feline dirofilariosis is infrequent, and diagnosis may be overlooked. This study reports two cases of Dirofilaria immitis infections in cats from Central‐Northern Italy, diagnosed by both direct (antigenic test, molecular analyses) and indirect detection methods (indirect ELISA), as well as by imaging investigations (i.e., thoracic radiography and ...
