An updated list of mosquito species in Armenia and Transcaucasian region responsible for < em > Dirofilaria < /em > transmission: A review
J Vector Borne Dis. 2023 Oct-Dec;60(4):343-352. doi: 10.4103/0972-9062.374035.ABSTRACTCanine dirofilariasis is a world-wide distributed mosquito-borne helminthiasis that has a potential zoonotic impact. This disease is a serious problem in Southern Caucasus region, including Armenia. Average extensity of Dirofilaria infection in canids in Armenia is 26.9%. At present, 77 mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) are presumed to have a role in the transmission of dirofilariasis. 80 species of Culicidae family mosquitoes are registered in Southern Caucasus Region, and 31 of them are described in Armenia.
