Sažetak
Dirofilariasis is a zoonotic infection caused by filarial nematodes of the genus Dirofilaria, with D. repens as the most common one. Definitive hosts
are usually dogs and other carnivores, while humans are accidentally included into the epizootic chain. It usually manifests as subcutaneous or ocular localization and here we present an unusual case of scrotal dirofilariasis.
