Onchocerca lupi infection is reported primarily in symptomatic dogs. We aimed to determine the infection in dogs from areas of Greece and Portugal with reported cases. Of 107 dogs, 9 (8%) were skin snip-positive for the parasite. DNA sequences of parasites in specimens from distinct dog populations differed genetically from those in GenBank.
据报道,犬类感染旋盘尾丝虫主要发生在有症状的犬只中。我们旨在确定希腊和葡萄牙报告病例地区的犬类感染情况。在 107 只狗中,9 只(8%)的皮肤划痕样本对寄生虫呈阳性。来自不同犬种群的样本中的寄生虫 DNA 序列在基因上与 GenBank 中的序列不同。
