Dioctophyme renale has a worldwide distribution and has been diagnosed in several wild and domestic animals as well as in humans. As numerous reports in the literature exist concerning the presence of D. renale in different animal species, as well as its diagnosis, treatment, and confirmation in new geographic areas, we reviewed existing information to contribute to the knowledge of the etiology, biology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of D. renale. Results of dioctophymosis may range from asymptomatic infection to even death of the host. Diagnosis is based on data from morphology, imaging, and antibody testing, with surgical treatment being the most effective. A high potential for infection of pets exists when there is overlap with wild parasitized animals; given common risk factors for infections in humans, D. renale should be considered as having zoonotic potential.
肾膨结线虫分布广泛，已在多种野生动物、家养动物以及人类中被诊断出来。由于文献中有许多关于不同动物物种中肾膨结线虫存在的报告，以及在新的地理区域对其进行诊断、治疗和确认的报告，我们对现有信息进行了综述，以增加对肾膨结线虫的病因、生物学、流行病学、发病机制、症状、诊断、治疗和预防的了解。肾膨结线虫感染的结果范围从无症状感染到宿主死亡。诊断基于形态学、影像学和抗体检测数据，手术治疗是最有效的方法。当宠物与受感染的野生动物重叠时，感染的可能性很高；鉴于人类感染的常见危险因素，应将肾膨结线虫视为具有潜在的人畜共患性。
