In July 2016 we described the first known case of canine ocular thelaziosis in the UK in a dog recently imported from Romania. Here we confirm our initial diagnosis using PCR followed by sequence analysis, and we report a further two clinical cases in dogs with recent history of travel to Italy and France. In view of the presence in the UK of the vector for , namely spp, we discuss the significance of these three cases in the context of the UK government's pet travel scheme, disease control and both animal and public health in the UK.
2016年7月，我们描述了英国首例已知的犬眼吸吮线虫病病例，患病犬最近从罗马尼亚进口。在此，我们通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）及后续序列分析证实了最初的诊断，并报告了另外两例临床病例，患病犬近期有前往意大利和法国的旅行史。鉴于英国存在吸吮线虫的传播媒介，即 属物种，我们在英国政府的宠物旅行计划、疾病控制以及英国动物和公共卫生的背景下，讨论了这三例病例的意义。
