Abstrakt: Setaria tundra is a filarioid parasite occurring in the northern hemisphere. Adult forms of helminths are located free in the peritoneal cavity of its definitive host - cervids, while microfilariae are presented in the host's bloodstream. Intermediate hosts are represented by several mosquito species, mainly of the genus Aedes.Nematode S. tundra is well adapted to roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and therefore is the infection usually asymptomatic. In this study we present the first report of S. tundra in Slovakia. During a period 2022 a total of 6 roe deer coming from eastern Slovakia (Trebišov district) were examined. Nematodes were found during the evisceration process in the abdominal cavity of 3 specimens Intensity of infection was in range from 5 to 38 helminths per host. Mean intensity of infection reached 18.3 parasites per host. The helminths were identified as S. tundra by morphological examination and molecular typing of the COI gene. This study is the first report of S. tundra in Slovakia.
