RESUMO
Nematodes occupy the top in the general pattern of human parasitic diseases in the Primorye Territory. In the south of the Far East, there are a total of 28 nematode species that can parasitize man. However, the authors have identified only 8 nematode-induced diseases, such as ascariasis, enterobiasis, toxocariasis, trichocephaliasis, anisakiasis, trichinosis, dirofilariasis, dioctophymosis. The latter has been found only once in the 1920s. According to official statistical data, the proportion of ascariasis and enterobiasis accounted for 43.8 and 53.5% of the total number of helminthiases, respectively.

Out of 3 species of the nematodes of the genus Dirofilaria recorded in the Primorye Territory, only D. repens was found in human beings. In the past 3 years, there have been 8 cases of human dirofilariasis, of which only one case can be considered to be imported. Mosquitoes are vectors of dirofilariasis. Infestation occurred in the west and south districts of the Territory. The nematodes were most frequently detected first in the eye. Hence they migrated beneath the scalp giving rise to capsules on the cheek, occiput, forehead, or temple. The parasites were extracted only surgically.
