In March 2007, cutaneous nodules were observed on the neck, shoulder and back of a breeding bull imported from France in November 2006. The nodules opened spontaneously and produced a haemorrhagic exudate. The cause was Parafilaria bovicola, a filariid nematode not endemic to The Netherlands. The worm can cause substantial economic loss because of the need to trim carcasses and because of the diminished value of hides. The infection is spread by the fly Musca autumnalis, which is common in The Netherlands. Because treatment does not stop the infection from spreading, the bull was culled to prevent the risk of infection of the national herd. To our knowledge, this is the first case of Parafilaria bovicola in The Netherlands.
2007年3月，在一头于2006年11月从法国引进的种公牛的颈部、肩部和背部发现了皮肤结节。这些结节自行破溃，并产生出血性渗出物。病因是牛副丝虫，一种丝虫线虫，在荷兰并非地方流行性病原体。由于需要对 carcasses 进行修整以及兽皮价值降低，这种蠕虫会导致重大经济损失。感染通过在荷兰常见的秋家蝇传播。由于治疗无法阻止感染传播，这头公牛被扑杀以防止全国牛群感染的风险。据我们所知，这是荷兰首例牛副丝虫病例。 （注：原文中carcasses未翻译，因未明确其在文中准确含义，保留原文供参考）
