I), numerous skin samples were collected from dogs in the Mediterranean region. In addition to <jats:italic>Cercopithifilaria<\/jats:italic> sp. I (185\u00b77\u00a0\u00b1\u00a07\u00b72 <jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>m long), microfilariae of 2 other species were identified, namely <jats:italic>Cercopithifilaria grassii<\/jats:italic> (651\u00b77\u00a0\u00b1\u00a023\u00b76 <jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>m long) and a yet undescribed microfilaria, <jats:italic>Cercopithifilaria<\/jats:italic> sp. II (264\u00b74\u00a0\u00b1\u00a020\u00b72 <jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>m long, with evident lateral alae). The morphological differentiation among the 3 species of dermal microfilariae was confirmed by differences in cytochrome <jats:italic>c<\/jats:italic> oxidase subunit 1 and ribosomal 12S sequences examined (mean level of interspecific pairwise distance of 11\u00b74%, and 17\u00b77%, respectively). Phylogenetic analyses were concordant in clustering these with other sequences of <jats:italic>Cercopithifilaria<\/jats:italic> spp. to the exclusion of <jats:italic>Dirofilaria<\/jats:italic> spp., <jats:italic>Onchocerca<\/jats:italic> spp. and <jats:italic>Acanthocheilonema<\/jats:italic> spp. Dermal microfilariae collected (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0132) were morphologically identified as <jats:italic>Cercopithifilaria<\/jats:italic> sp. I (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0108, 81\u00b78%), <jats:italic>Cercopithifilaria<\/jats:italic> sp. II (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a017, 12\u00b79%), whereas only 7 (5\u00b73%) were identified as <jats:italic>C. grassii<\/jats:italic>. Mixed infestations were detected in all sites examined. The great diversity of these neglected filarioids in dogs is of biological interest, considering the complex interactions occurring among hosts, ticks and <jats:italic>Cercopithifilaria<\/jats:italic> spp. in different environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182012001357","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,23]],"date-time":"2012-08-23T07:37:34Z","timestamp":1345707454000},"page":"99-108","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Species diversity of dermal microfilariae of the genus <i>Cercopithifilaria<\/i> infesting dogs in the Mediterranean region"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"140","author":[{"given":"DOMENICO","family":"OTRANTO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"EMANUELE","family":"BRIANTI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"FILIPE","family":"DANTAS-TORRES","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"GUADALUPE","family":"MIR\u00d3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MARIA STEFANIA","family":"LATROFA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"YASEN","family":"MUTAFCHIEV","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ODILE","family":"BAIN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref44","first-page":"389","article-title":"Human and canine dirofilariasis in Greece","volume":"39","author":"Vakalis","year":"1997","journal-title":"Parassitologia"},{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1051\/parasite\/1998052119"},{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref42","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1051\/parasite\/2001083197"},{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1051\/parasite\/2002094293"},{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1051\/parasite\/1984595531"},{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.155.18.565"},{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref35","first-page":"1","article-title":"A taxonomic revision of filarioid nematodes from Australian marsupials","volume":"35","author":"Spratt","year":"1975","journal-title":"Australian Journal of Zoology"},{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2011.05.043"},{"key":"S0031182012001357_ref27","unstructured":"No\u00e8 G.
