[Comment] Threats of vector-borne zoonotic disease in Europe: dogs, drosophilids, and Oriental eye worm

Mosquito and tick ecology has changed in parts of Europe over the past 20 years and threats to the UK from diseases such as dengue, West Nile virus, tick-borne encephalitis, and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever have to be considered.1 But health professionals must also be aware of increasing risks from less well known vector-borne zoonoses that have emerged in Europe during the same timeframe. These zoonotic conditions include certain parasitic disorders of dogs that are well known to veterinarians, such as visceral leishmaniasis and dirofilariasis.
