目前，欧洲总人口的45%，以及他们的家畜和伴侣动物，暴露于媒介传播蠕虫（VBH）引起疾病的风险。在不断变化的环境中，过多的内在生物和外在因素影响蠕虫、病媒和动物宿主之间的关系。虽然犬恶丝虫病（Dirofilaria immitis）和犬恶丝虫病（Dirofilaria repens）是VBH成功传播到非流行地区的关键例子，但另一个例子是由Thelazia callipaeda眼虫代表的，这是欧洲几个地区犬、猫和人类的一种新出现的病原体。最近在欧洲和海外发现的引起犬和人类感染的狼盘尾丝虫使VBH的情况更加复杂。同样，最近发现，蜱传播的感染狗皮肤的Cercopithifilaria属丝虫在欧洲广泛传播。尽管对于上述大多数VBH，关于其在国家一级分布的研究数据越来越多，但它们在犬和人类中引起的疾病的总体影响在许多方面尚未得到充分认识。本文综述了VBH在欧洲分布呈上升趋势的原因，并讨论了目前可用的诊断和控制策略。此外，本文还就与VBH相关的一些值得进一步科学研究的问题提出了作者的看法。
Presently, 45% of the total human population of Europe, as well as their domestic and companion animals, are exposed to the risk of vector-borne helminths (VBH) causing diseases. A plethora of intrinsic biological and extrinsic factors affect the relationship among helminths, vectors and animal hosts, in a constantly changing environment. Although canine dirofilarioses by Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens are key examples of the success of VBH spreading into non-endemic areas, another example is represented by Thelazia callipaeda eyeworm, an emergent pathogen of dogs, cats and humans in several regions of Europe. The recent finding of Onchocerca lupi causing canine and human infestation in Europe and overseas renders the picture of VBH even more complicated. Similarly, tick-transmitted filarioids of the genus Cercopithifilaria infesting the skin of dogs were recently shown to be widespread in Europe. Although for most of the VBH above there is an increasing accumulation of research data on their distribution at national level, the overall impact of the diseases they cause in dogs and humans is not fully recognised in many aspects. This review investigates the reasons underlying the increasing trend in distribution of VBH in Europe and discusses the diagnostic and control strategies currently available. In addition, this article provides the authors’ opinion on some topics related to VBH that would deserve further scientific investigation.
