Epidemiological data on canine and human dirofilariosis in the Rostov Region (Southern Russia) are presented. Prevalence of Dirofilaria spp. infections in 795 autochthonous dogs, assessed by the Knott test, was 20.25%. The highest prevalence was found in Novocherkassk (38.3%) and Rostov-on-Don (18.5%), while prevalences were lower in other points of the region. Prevalence of D. repens was 44.7%, prevalence of D. immitis was 30.3%, and coinfections were observed in 25.0% of the dog population. A case finding study carried out during 9 years (2000-2009) revealed 131 cases of human dirofilariosis in the Rostov Region, 129 of subcutaneous dirofilariosis and 2 of pulmonary dirofilariosis. Seroprevalence among 317 healthy blood donors from the Rostov Region was 10.4%, while seroprevalence in policemen living in Rostov city and working in training dogs was 19%. These data show high infection rates of Dirofilaria spp. in both human and dog populations of Rostov, probably because of the existence of favorable conditions for the transmission in this region.
本文呈现了俄罗斯南部罗斯托夫地区犬类和人类丝虫病的流行病学数据。通过诺特氏检验评估，795只本地犬中丝虫属感染率为20.25%。新切尔卡斯克（38.3%）和顿河畔罗斯托夫（18.5%）的感染率最高，而该地区其他地点的感染率较低。匐行恶丝虫的感染率为44.7%，犬恶丝虫的感染率为30.3%，25.0%的犬只存在混合感染。一项为期9年（2000 - 2009年）的病例发现研究罗斯托夫地区发现131例人类丝虫病病例，其中129例为皮下丝虫病，2例为肺丝虫病。罗斯托夫地区317名健康献血者的血清阳性率为10.4%，而居住在罗斯托夫市并从事训犬工作的警察的血清阳性率为19%。这些数据表明罗斯托夫地区的人类和犬类种群中丝虫属的感染率很高，这可能是由于该地区存在有利于传播的条件。
