Candidatus Dirofilaria hongkongensis as Causative Agent of Human Ocular Filariosis after Travel to India

11 Jul 2017

Abstract excerpt

We report a human case of ocular Dirofilaria infection in a traveler returning to Austria from India. Analysis of mitochondrial sequences identified the worm as Candidatus Dirofilaria hongkongensis, a close relative of Dirofilaria repens, which was only recently described in Hong Kong and proposed as a new species.
