人类恶丝虫病是一种罕见的人畜共患传染病，具有广泛的地理分布。全世界有800多例恶丝虫病病例，其中来自意大利、斯里兰卡和前苏联共和国的病例最多。匍匐恶丝虫属于Nochtiella亚属，是印度最常见的物种。从地形学上看，眶/眶周区域是最常见的恶丝虫感染区域。我们提出了一个简短的审查，从印度的情况下，包括两个在我们自己的研究所收到的。本文重点介绍该疾病的流行病学，包括其地理分布以及最近印度次大陆发病率增加的可能原因。
Human dirofilariasis is an uncommon zoonotic infection having a widespread geographical distribution. World over 800 cases of Dirofilaria are on record with highest numbers from Italy, Sri Lanka and republics of the ex-Soviet Union. Dirofilaria repens belongs to the subgenus Nochtiella and is the most common species identified in India. Topographically, the orbital/periorbital regions are the most common regions involved by Dirofilaria. We present a brief review of cases from India including two received in our own institute. This review focuses on the epidemiology of the disease including its geographical distribution and the probable causation of the recent increase in its incidence in Indian subcontinent.
