Circulation of Dirofilaria repens, Setaria tundra, and Onchocercidae species in Hungary during the period 2011–2013
Dirofilaria repens and recently Dirofilaria immitis are known to be endemic in Hungary. Since there isno related research on Dirofilaria carrier mosquito species from Hungary, we conducted a three-yearmosquito surveillance study between 2011 and 2013. During the study period we examined 23,139female...
