Présence, chez des tiques de la région de Genève, de larves infestantes qui pourraient se rapporter à la filaire de chien Dipetalonema grassii

Une quarantaine de larves infestantes de Filaire sont récoltées chez des Rhipicephalus sanguineus vivant à l’intérieur d’une habitation et importées de France ou d’Italie (2 tiques positives sur une cinquantaine observées).
Les larves appartiennent au genre Dipetalonema ; elles sont distinctes des stades infestants des 3 espèces communes en Europe, D. dracunculoides et D. reconditum du chien, D. rugosicauda du chevreuil. Elles pourraient par contre correspondre à D. grassii (Noé, 1907), Filaire du chien non observée depuis sa découverte en Italie.
Abstract
About forty infective folarial larvae were collected from Rhipicephalus sanguineus (two ticks positive out of about 50 examined) living inside a house and presumably originally transported from the south of France or Toscana. The larvae are of the genus Dipetalonema; they are distinct from infective stages of the three most common European species, D. dracunculoides and D. reconditum from dogs and D. rugosicauda from roe deer. They may however be larvae of D. arassii (Noe, 1907), a dog filarid which has not been reported since its original descovery in Italy.
