The dog presented with conjunctivitis in March 2014 and then again 2 months later with additional ocular and nasal mucopurulent discharge. Bacterial cultures from the nasolacrimal duct were negative for bacterial growth. The case was referred in August 2014 for ophthalmic examination, which revealed abnormalities in both eyes, especially the left. They included mild palpebral conjunctival hyperaemia and marked follicular conjunctivitis, as well as a dorsonasal bulbar conjunctival mass. Serum biochemistry was unremarkable and a conjunctival biopsy taken from the dorsonasal bulbar conjunctival mass revealed eosinophilic\/lymphoplasmacytic conjunctivitis. At re\u2010examination, nematodes were found in the area of the previous biopsy site and in the ventral palpebral conjunctival fornix. Polymerase chain reaction and sequencing confirmed these to be <jats:italic>D. repens<\/jats:italic>. Treatment with 10% imidacloprid and 2\u00b75% moxidectin (Advocate Spot\u2010On) was successful, and clinical signs resolved over a 6\u2010week period. This case report indicates that <jats:italic>D. repens<\/jats:italic> infection should be considered as a possible aetiological cause of ocular lesions in dogs in the UK, especially those with a history of foreign travel. Implications for establishment and spread of <jats:italic>D. repens<\/jats:italic> in the UK are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.12795","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,5]],"date-time":"2017-12-05T10:37:28Z","timestamp":1512470248000},"page":"50-52","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Subconjunctival <i>Dirofilaria repens<\/i> infection in a dog resident in the UK"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"D.","family":"Agapito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Animobile Veterinary Ltd.
