Abstract
Zoonotic filariasis caused by novel Brugia sp. nematode, United States, 2011.
Highlights
To the Editor: Zoonotic brugian filariasis is an incidental infection of humans with Brugia spp. nematodes that primarily parasitize nonhuman vertebrates, rarely humans [1,2,3]
In contrast to classical lymphatic filariasis caused by B. malayi and B. timori, which are found in Asia, most zoonotic Brugia infections have been reported from the northeastern United States [2,3] or South America [3]
We report a case of symptomatic brugian infection in a New York City resident who had not traveled to the Eastern Hemisphere
