First molecular detection of Dirofilaria immitis (Spirurida: Onchocercidae) infection in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Nematocera) from Brazil

2026-04-17

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <italic>Dirofilaria immitis</italic> is a filarioid worm transmitted by culicids, with relevance to human and veterinary health. The expansion of canine dirofilariasis in regions previously considered non-endemic in Brazil highlights the need for entomological studies. This study investigated the occurrence of natural infection by <italic>D. immitis</italic> in mosquito populations...
