Abstract
Summary A human case of Dirofilaria infection is described. Apparently, this is the tenth case of dirofilariasis reported in the United States and the seventh originating in Florida. An immature female worm was recovered from a subcutaneous nodule in the forearm of a man. Cuticular markings on the worm indicate that it is Dirofilaria conjunctivae.Keywords
