We report a case of Dirofilaria immitis nematode infection in a dog imported from Venezuela that had been living for 2 years in Santiago, Chile, where this parasite had not been reported before. Our findings warrant surveillance for all dogs imported to Chile, given that suitable conditions exist for establishing this parasite.
我们报告了一例从委内瑞拉进口的狗感染犬恶丝虫的病例,该狗在智利圣地亚哥生活了 2 年,而在此之前,智利尚未报告过这种寄生虫。鉴于智利存在适合该寄生虫建立的条件,我们的发现值得对所有进口到智利的狗进行监测。
