Abstract
Dirofilariasis is spreading among dogs and humans in Europe with infections being established in many countries. In Denmark, at least one to two generations of Dirofilaria spp. can occur per year. Here, we describe the first molecular biologically confirmed case of D. repens infection in a dog in Denmark.
