Over the past years, the nematode species from the Onchocercidae family, Setaria tundra, has expanded its range by thousands of kilometres from subpolar to subtropical climate zone. Its presence has been confirmed in seven new countries. The appearance of this parasite in many other European countries, especially central and southern ones, is highly probable. In recent years, its mass appearance has led to the numerous fall of reindeer in Fennoscandia, thus causing significant economic damage. There is also a growing risk of its gradation in Central Europe, which threatens overpopulated wild deer species and possibly farm animals, however there is no information if other than mosquitoes blood-sucking arthropods act as its vector. This paper covers the range of occurrence of S. tundra in Europe, all of the reported intermediate and definitive hosts, phylogeny, biology, morphology, health effects, and treatment methods.
在过去几年中,盘尾科线虫物种苔原腹腔丝虫已将其分布范围从亚极地气候区扩展到亚热带气候区数千公里。它已在七个新国家被确认存在。这种寄生虫很有可能出现在许多其他欧洲国家,尤其是中欧和南欧国家。近年来,它的大量出现导致了芬诺斯堪的亚地区驯鹿数量的大量减少,从而造成了重大经济损失。在中欧,其传播的风险也在增加,这对数量过多的野生鹿种以及可能的家畜构成威胁,然而,除了蚊子之外,尚无关于其他吸血节肢动物是否作为其传播媒介的信息。本文涵盖了苔原腹腔丝虫在欧洲的分布范围、所有已报告的中间宿主和终末宿主、系统发育、生物学、形态学、健康影响以及治疗方法。
