Ocular dirofilariasis: Series of three cases and review of literature

Dirofilariasis is a group of parasitoses caused by nematodes genus Dirofilaria. Dogs, cats, and foxes are natural host and man is the accidental host.[1,2] Culex, aedes, and anopheles mosquitoes have been recognised as suitable vectors for this parasite. Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens are the most common species causing a pathological lesion. Here, we present three cases of ocular dirofilariasis reported within two consecutive years.
