The history of an 18-month-old English bulldog with a painful lump in the skin on its thigh is described. After opening the nodule a few Dirofilaria repens nematodes were found. Oval-shaped transparent eggs with moving larvae were seen microscopically. The dog was treated with milbemycin and made a complete recovery. The dog had never been abroad, but 6 months earlier in early May had been on a campsite in the middle of the Netherlands where many mosquitoes were present. This is the first described case of an autochthonous D. repens infection of a dog in the Netherlands.
描述了一只18个月大的英国斗牛犬的病史，它的大腿皮肤上有一个疼痛的肿块。打开结节后发现了几条匐行恶丝虫线虫。显微镜下可见椭圆形透明卵内有活动的幼虫。这只狗用米尔贝霉素进行了治疗，并完全康复。这只狗从未出过国，但6个月前的5月初曾在荷兰中部的一个露营地，那里有很多蚊子。这是荷兰首次报道的犬自发性匐行恶丝虫感染病例。
