Dirofilariosis caused by the Dirofilaria repens nematodes is widely dispersed in southern Europe, Asia and Africa among dogs, cats, other carnivores and occasionally, humans. The first case of D. repens infection, found in Poland in 2007, concerned humans. In 2009, dirofilariosis was first registered in dogs in 3 focuses in central Poland, Warsaw, Pruszków and Zyrardów, whose range grew considerably with the subsequent identification of D. repens microfilariae in 119 dogs in Warsaw and 18 districts of the Mazowieckie Province. The microfilariae of D. repens were found in blood samples taken from 1588 dogs from all 16 provinces of Poland. D. repens was also recently detected in a mixture of Culex pipiens and Aedes vexans mosquitoes collected in Mazowieckie Province using Real Time PCR. The results of this study confirms the acclimatisation of D. repens on the territory of Poland and a possibility for it to close its life cycle in domestic species of mosquito.
由匐行恶丝虫线虫引起的恶丝虫病在南欧、亚洲和非洲的犬类、猫科动物、其他食肉动物以及偶尔在人类中广泛传播。2007年在波兰发现的第一例匐行恶丝虫感染病例涉及人类。2009年，恶丝虫病首次在波兰中部的3个地区，即华沙、普鲁什科夫和济拉尔多夫的犬类中被记录，随着随后在华沙的119只犬类以及马佐夫舍省的18个区中发现匐行恶丝虫微丝蚴，其范围大幅扩大。在从波兰所有16个省份的1588只犬类采集的血液样本中发现了匐行恶丝虫微丝蚴。最近还使用实时聚合酶链反应在马佐夫舍省采集的致倦库蚊和骚扰伊蚊混合样本中检测到了匐行恶丝虫。这项研究的结果证实了匐行恶丝虫在波兰境内已适应环境，并有可能在当地蚊种中完成其生命周期。
