Dioctophymosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Dioctophyma renale (Goeze, 1782). It is distributed worldwide and it affects a large number of wild and domestic mammals.Here we report the first confirmed case of canine dioctophymosis in Colombia. The animal was found dead in the streets of the municipality of Yondó, Antioquia, and its dead body was taken to the Instituto Universitario de la Paz (UNIPAZ) to carry out a necropsy.A parasite worm was found in the right kidney and sent for identification to the Laboratorio de Parasitología of the Universidad de Santander (UDES). The specimen was identified as a male of D. renale upon observing the typical oval and transversely elongated bell-shaped bursa copulatrix with a spicule and no rays. Another important factor to confirm the diagnosis was the anatomical location in the kidney. This is the first time D. renale is reported in a stray dog in Colombia.
巨肾棘口线虫病是一种由巨肾棘口线虫（戈泽，1782年）引起的人畜共患寄生虫病。它分布于世界各地，影响着大量的野生和家养哺乳动物。在此我们报告哥伦比亚首例确诊的犬巨肾棘口线虫病病例。该动物被发现死于安蒂奥基亚省扬多市的街头，其尸体被送往拉巴斯大学（UNIPAZ）进行尸检。在右肾中发现了一条寄生虫，并送往桑坦德大学（UDES）的寄生虫学实验室进行鉴定。通过观察典型的椭圆形且横向拉长的钟形交合囊、有一根交合刺且无辐肋，该标本被鉴定为巨肾棘口线虫的雄性个体。确认诊断的另一个重要因素是其在肾脏中的解剖位置。这是哥伦比亚首次在流浪狗身上报告巨肾棘口线虫。
