First molecular identification of Dirofilaria spp. (Onchocercidae) in mosquitoes from Serbia
TLDR
Dirofilariosis and D. repens were both detected from multiple localities, during the whole period of mosquito breeding season, which provides the first data on local transmission characteristics regarding mosquitoes from the Balkans.
Circulation of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Romania
BackgroundDirofilariosis is an emerging vector-borne parasitic disease in Europe. Monitoring of wild and domestic carnivores demonstrated circulation of Dirofilaria spp. in Romania in the past. For…
Xenomonitoring of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) for the Presence of Filarioid Helminths in Eastern Austria
  • S. Uebleis, Claudia Cuk, H. Fuehrer
  • Biology
    The Canadian journal of infectious diseases & medical microbiology = Journal canadien des maladies infectieuses et de la microbiologie medicale
  • 2018
TLDR
This study shows that xenomonitoring is an adequate tool to analyse the presence of filarioid helminths, but results are influenced by mosquito sampling techniques, storage conditions, and molecular protocols.
Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens in mosquitoes from Corsica Island, France
TLDR
The data suggest that both Dirofilaria species are endemic and occur possibly in sympatry in the studied area in Corsica, highlighting the need to implement preventive chemoprophylaxis and vector control strategies to reduce the risk of these filarioids in dog and human populations.
Culex pipiens as a potential vector for transmission of Dirofilaria immitis and other unclassified Filarioidea in Southwest Spain.
Circulation of Dirofilaria repens and Dirofilaria immitis in Moldova
TLDR
The temperature conditions in Moldova are suitable for transmission of Dirofilaria spp. within the entire country, which is supported by a wide distribution of Dirosene spp.-positive mosquitoes with high infection rates.
Filarial nematode (order: Spirurida) surveillance in urban habitats, in the city of Pécs (Hungary)
TLDR
This study provides novel insight for prevalence of filaroid nematodes in mosquitoes occurring in close proximity to humans, thereby highlights the possible human and veterinary health importance of these mosquito species, including the recently introduced invasive mosquito Ae.
Detection and molecular characterization of the mosquito-borne filarial nematode Setaria tundra in Danish roe deer (Capreolus capreolus)
The current situation of canine dirofilariosis in Hungary
TLDR
It is confirmed that both dirofilarioses are endemic in dogs and the eastern areas of the country are hyperendemic for heartworm disease.
Urbanization impact on mosquito community and the transmission potential of filarial infection in central Europe
TLDR
The study presented herein represents initial research focused on molecular mosquito screening for filarioid parasites in urban and urban-fringe habitats of Bratislava, Slovakia and detected Dirofilaria spp.

Molecular detection of Dirofilaria immitis, Dirofilaria repens and Setaria tundra in mosquitoes from Germany
TLDR
The finding of dirofilariae in German mosquitoes implies the possibility of a local natural transmission cycle and potential culicid vectors and reservoir hosts must prospectively be identified and awareness among physicians, veterinarians and public health personnel be created.
Molecular detection of Setaria tundra (Nematoda: Filarioidea) and an unidentified filarial species in mosquitoes in Germany
BackgroundKnowledge of the potential vector role of Culicidae mosquitoes in Germany is very scanty, and until recently it was generally assumed that they are not involved in the transmission of…

TLDR
Investigation of the potential vectors of D. immitis in three districts of Portugal, from Spring to Autumn, in 5 of the 6 collection dates in 2011–2013 found 5 species, including Culex theileri, Cx.
Vectors and transmission dynamics for Setaria tundra (Filarioidea; Onchocercidae), a parasite of reindeer in Finland
TLDR
It is predicted that global climate change has the potential to promote the further emergence of Filarioid nematodes and the disease caused by them in subarctic regions by favouring the development of S. tundra in its mosquito vectors, by improving the development and longevity of mosquitoes, and finally by forcing the reindeer to flock on mosquito rich wetlands.
Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens Implicated as Natural Vectors of Dirofilaria repens in Central Italy
TLDR
The finding of D. immitis DNA in mosquitoes in areas where only D. repens was been recovered in dogs demonstrates that this filarial parasite circulates among carnivores (wild or domesticated pets).

Dirofilaria repens infection in a dog imported to Norway
TLDR
Dirofilaria repens infection was diagnosed in a dog that had been imported to Norway from Hungary three years previously and presented for examination of two masses on the right thoracic wall, revealing a high number of microfilariae and a pyogranulomatous inflammation.
