An ocular Thelazia callipaeda infestation was found in a male domestic dog in Taiwan during regular examination. This is the first report of the parasite from pet animal in Taiwan. The infested dog showed normal bodily condition but slight conjunctival congestion. This parasite has been reported in humans in southeast Asia, China and Korea. In 1998, first human case was reported in the central area of Taiwan. The dogs infected with T. callipaeda may have important implication in the infestation of this parasite to humans as reservoir hosts.
在台湾，一只雄性家犬在定期检查时被发现感染了结膜吸吮线虫。这是台湾地区宠物感染该寄生虫的首例报告。这只受感染的狗身体状况正常，但有轻微的结膜充血。这种寄生虫已在东南亚、中国和韩国的人类中被报道。1998年，台湾中部地区报告了首例人类病例。感染结膜吸吮线虫的犬只作为该寄生虫的储存宿主，可能对人类感染具有重要影响。
