Canine and human dirofilariosis in the rostov region (southern Russia)
Open accessAbstract
Epidemiological data on canine and human dirofilariosis in the Rostov Region (Southern Russia) are presented. Prevalence of Dirofilaria spp. infections in 795 autochthonous dogs, assessed by the Knott test, was 20.25%. The highest prevalence was found in Novocherkassk (38.3%) and Rostov-on-Don (18.5%), while prevalences were lower in other points of the region. Prevalence of D. repens was 44.7%, prevalence of D. immitis was 30.3%, and coinfections were observed in 25.0% of the dog population. A case finding study carried out during 9 years (2000-2009) revealed 131 cases of human dirofilariosis in the Rostov Region, 129 of subcutaneous dirofilariosis and 2 of pulmonary dirofilariosis. Seroprevalence among 317 healthy blood donors from the Rostov Region was 10.4%, while seroprevalence in policemen living in Rostov city and working in training dogs was 19%. These data show high infection rates of Dirofilaria spp. in both human and dog populations of Rostov, probably because of the existence of favorable conditions for the transmission in this region.

Seroepidemiological studies of residents of areas of endemicity reported higher rates of infection in a similar manner to those of canines of the same areas.
“Seroepidemiological studies of residents of areas of endemicity reported higher rates of infection in a similar manner to those of canines of the same areas (1, 5, 13, 16, 17, 34).”

In the area surrounding Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia, in 2011, 20.25% of dogs were infected with Dirofilaria spp., 44.7% of which were infected with D. repens, 30.3% with D. immitis, and 25% were coinfected with both species.
“In 1997, a prevalence of 30% was reported for D. repens (14), whereas in 2011, 20.25% of dogs were infected with Dirofilaria spp., 44.7% of which were infected with D. repens, 30.3% of which were infected with D. immitis, and 25% of which were coinfected with both species (197).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
