Molecular investigation of Dirofilaria repens, Dirofilaria immitis and Acanthocheilonema reconditum in stray dogs and cats in Ukraine
These findings provide the first molecular evidence of Dirofilaria spp. and A. reconditum infections in stray animals from several under-studied areas of Ukraine, highlighting the relevance of the One Health approach in mitigating the risk of zoonotic transmission.
