| molecular survey of dirofilaria immitis and dirofilaria repens by new real-time taqman(®) pcr assay in dogs and mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in corsica (france). | dirofilaria immitis and d. repens are filarioid nematodes of animals and humans, transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. domestic and wild canids are a major natural host and reservoir for these parasites. in this study, we designed a duplex real-time pcr protocol targeting the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi) gene, detecting both d. immitis and d. repens using two primer pairs and two dirofilaria-specific hydrolysable probes. the sensitivity and specificity of the prim ... | 2017 | 28215858 |
| human dirofilariasis due to dirofilaria repens in france. a review of reported cases. | in france, more than 5,000 dogs have been tested for dirofilaria in 1986. among them, 1.4% harboured dirofilaria repens microfilariae in their blood. most of the positive cases were from corsica and southern france. the reported cases of human dirofilariasis probably or surely due to d. repens in france are here reviewed. about 60 cases have been observed but approximately 30, more or less well documented, have been published from 1900 to 1996. a subconjunctival location of the worm and a subcut ... | 1997 | 9802096 |

| [a new case of subcutaneous dirofilariasis]. | authors describe another case of subcutaneous dirofilariasis due to dirofilaria (nochtiella) repens in france. a 26-year-old woman was infected while on vacation in cap d'agde on the mediterranean coast. the patient presented with a subcutaneous nodule in the right subclavicular region. examination of the nodule after surgical excision revealed the presence of a worm identified as an immature female dirofilaria repens. dirofilariasis is a rare anthroponotic disease encountered only in the old wo ... | 1999 | 10816750 |
