, also known as the "oriental eye worm", is a zoonotic parasitic nematode with a wide range of hosts, particularly wild and domestic carnivores, but also lagomorphs and humans. Currently, ocular thelaziosis presents an expanding distribution range throughout Europe, including Portugal. This study provides an update on . infection reports (30 studies) in European wildlife comprising 54 host-locality records in 10 host species from nine European countries. The prevalence of . varied widely, with ranges from around 1% in red foxes and European hares to almost 50% in red foxes. The lowest mean intensity was 2.7 nematodes/host in European wildcats and the highest was 38.0 nematodes/host in wolves. In addition, a massive infection with in a juvenile male red fox from eastern-central Portugal is also described, representing the southernmost report in a wild animal in this country. A total of 188 nematodes (139 females and 49 males) were collected from both eyes and were submitted to morphological and molecular characterization. Collected nematodes were morphologically identified as . . Given the endemicity of . in eastern-central Portugal, surveillance system should be implemented to monitor its presence among wild and domestic animals.
[虫名]，也被称为“东方眼虫”，是一种人畜共患的寄生线虫，宿主范围广泛，特别是野生和家养食肉动物，也包括兔形目动物和人类。目前，眼吸吮线虫病在整个欧洲，包括葡萄牙，呈现出不断扩大的分布范围。本研究提供了欧洲野生动物中[虫名]感染报告（30项研究）的最新情况，这些报告包含来自9个欧洲国家的10种宿主物种的54条宿主-地点记录。[虫名]的患病率差异很大，在赤狐和欧洲野兔中约为1%，在赤狐中几乎达到50%。平均感染强度最低的是欧洲野猫，为2.7条线虫/宿主，最高的是狼，为38.0条线虫/宿主。此外，还描述了一只来自葡萄牙中东部的幼年雄性赤狐发生的大规模[虫名]感染，这是该国野生动物中最南端的报告。从两只眼睛共收集到188条线虫（139只雌性和49只雄性），并进行了形态学和分子特征分析。收集到的线虫经形态学鉴定为[虫名]。鉴于[虫名]在葡萄牙中东部的地方性流行情况，应实施监测系统以监测其在野生动物和家畜中的存在情况。
