Abstract
Dirofilariasis is one of the zoonotic fiilarial infections inadvertently affecting the humans. It is caused by filarial nematodes of genus Dirofilaria, which naturally infects several domestic and wild animals. Dirofilaria is transmitted to human by mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) of various species, such as Culex, Anopheles, Aedes which are probably the most important vectors in Turkey. The Dirofilaria parasite which cause of Dirofilariasis disease can be diagnosed using membrane filtrationacide phosphates histochemical staining, serological methods and molecular methods. Dirofilaria is a parasite that can cause serious pathological disorders and even deaths in carnivorous animals especially dogs and humans. In recent years, people are increasingly at risk of being infected with Dirofilariasis diseases due to increased dog or cat feding in their homes. Therefore, control programmes should be implemented to prevent the spread of the disease in our country and world. This review includes human Dirofilariasis agents, clinical examination and laboratory diagnostic methods of Dirofilariasis.
