In co-operation with the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence, in total, 710 dogs (591 police dogs and 119 military dogs) were investigated for the presence of microfilariae in blood. All police and military dogs in active service held on the territory of Slovakia were included. Microfilariae were detected in 118 (20.0%) police dogs and 10 (8.4%) military dogs. The most infected individuals originated from southern parts of Slovakia (Trnava region 53.6% and Nitra region 39.6%); the prevalence was low in northern regions (\u017dilina 3.1% and Pre\u0161ov 6.6%). In several districts of southern Slovakia, the prevalence of subcutaneous dirofilariasis in working dogs exceeded 40%. In all infected animals, the autochthonous origin of the disease was confirmed; however, due to the frequent movement of working dogs, it was not possible to identify the exact locality of infection. At present, a dog living in Nem\u0161ov\u00e1 village in Tren\u010d\u00edn district (north-western part of the country) is regarded as the northernmost localized autochthonous case of subcutaneous dirofilariasis in Slovakia. In three dogs, co-infection of <jats:italic>Dirofilaria repens<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Dirofilaria immitis<\/jats:italic> was detected. High prevalence rates in working dogs and the zoonotic characteristic of the disease represent an undoubtedly important veterinary and medical problem that requires the urgent introduction of prophylactic and control measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x09990496","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,4]],"date-time":"2009-09-04T04:18:23Z","timestamp":1252037903000},"page":"173-176","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Dirofilaria infections in working dogs in Slovakia"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Miterp\u00e1kov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Antolov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Z.","family":"Hurn\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Dubinsk\u00fd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Pavla\u010dka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"N\u00e9meth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X09990496_ref4","first-page":"195","volume-title":"Mappe Parassitologie \u2013 Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens in dog and cat and human infection","author":"Fok","year":"2007"},{"key":"S0022149X09990496_ref1","first-page":"393","article-title":"Importance in France of the infestation by Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens in dogs","volume":"39","author":"Chauve","year":"1997","journal-title":"Parassitologia"},{"key":"S0022149X09990496_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-4017(01)00516-7"},{"key":"S0022149X09990496_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3281237"},{"key":"S0022149X09990496_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4081\/gh.2006.279"},{"key":"S0022149X09990496_ref11","first-page":"71","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 8th Czech and Slovak Parazitological Days, Sezimovo \u00dast\u00ed, Czech Republic, 19\u201323 May. \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice, Czech Republic, Czech Society for Parasitology","author":"Ondriska","year":"2008"},{"key":"S0022149X09990496_ref7","first-page":"75","article-title":"The first case of human dirofilariosis in Slovakia.
