The prevalence of canine dirofilariasis in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Dirofilariasis, the disease caused by Dirofilaria spp., and in particular by Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens in canines, occurs frequently in canids and felids, and occasionally in humans, in temperate, sub-tropical and tropical ...

Current Distribution of Selected Vector‐borne Diseases in Domestic Dogs From Bucharest, Romania
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.Serological testing of 317 dogs in Bucharest (2020‐2024) revealed an overall Canine vector‐borne diseases (CVBD) seroprevalence of 8.8%, with Dirofilaria immitis (12.62%) being the most common. Shelter and older dogs had higher infection rates. Climate change and vector expansion may influence pathogen spread, underscoring the need for enhanced ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.Positive serology titres for Neospora caninum in the absence of appropriate clinical signs is not diagnostic for protozoal disease. Acute deterioration while immunosuppressed should raise concerns over reactivation of encysted protozoa, particularly in dogs with a history of raw feeding. Successful management of N. caninum appears possible but requires

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.In mammals, detection of Wolbachia bacteria can be used to diagnose filarial infection, while antibiotic treatment to eliminate Wolbachia can assist in eliminating filarial infections. Because Wolbachia are necessary for survival of several filarioids and closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, we analyzed Wolbachia DNA amplification by Anaplasma ...

Pet and Stray Dogs’ Contribution to Zoonotic Transmission Pathways: A Bibliometric Review
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Based on a large‐scale bibliometric dataset, domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) emerge as the most frequently cited host species in the context of zoonoses, being mentioned in at least 10% of publications for nearly a quarter of the pathogens recognized as zoonotic to humans.

Subcutaneous human dirofilariasis [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2011 Subcutaneous human dirofilariasis is caused by the zoonotic filariae Dirofilaria repens. The frequency of reports is increasing in literature during the last few years and is considered by some authors as an emerging zoonosis. Here we report 21 cases of subcutaneous dirofilariasis, which were encountered over a period of 8 years.

Is dirofilariosis an emerging conservation threat in wild carnivores across the Palearctic?
Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 427-440, October 2024.Phylogenetic distribution of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens infection in Palearctic Carnivora species. Abstract Dirofilaria species are mosquito‐borne filarial nematodes, with a high veterinary and public health importance, but growing evidence also indicates their frequent occurrence in wildlife.
