Article Synopsis
- Onchocerca lupi is a parasitic worm infecting the eyes of carnivores, notably reported in dogs in Europe and the USA.

- The findings suggest that ultrasound is particularly effective for diagnosing O. lupi and determining the location of the adult worms within the eye.

The imaging findings and the association of a CMT with other vascular diseases have never been reported in dogs.
