Introduction: Filarial pathogens are described to inhabit and affect subcutaneous and lymphatic tissues of the human host. To date, little is known on how much oral health might be affected by filarial infections, even though involvement of the oro-facial region is pathophysiologically possible. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review of the literature to help reduce the current evidence gap.

Article Synopsis
- * A study examined 100 male dogs over a period of 14 months, finding that 6% tested positive for D. repens in their testes, with microfilariae present in 15 blood samples, leading to a total prevalence of 16%.
- * No harmful lesions or pathological changes were observed in the testes of infected dogs, indicating that the presence of these parasites doesn't usually cause significant health issues, highlighting the need for better monitoring in areas where the parasite is common to prevent transmission to humans.

Renal manifestations can range from asymptomatic proteinuria, chyluria, and nephrotic syndrome, to acute glomerulonephritis. The diagnosis of filariasis is usually made by the demonstration of the parasite in the peripheral blood smear, with or without eosinophilia.
