A filarial nematode that normally affects animals
The mysterious bulge that moved turned out to be a parasite called Dirofilaria repens . This filarial nematode is usually introduced into animals, such as dogs, cats, wolves, foxes, sea lions, among others, so human infection is unusual.

The good news is that this type of parasite cannot reach maturity within the human body, so that it is not able to reproduce within us.Even so, even if its presence does not pose a threat to our species, nobody I would like to have him as an intruder, crawling under the skin, as this Russian woman lived who was surgically intervened for removal.It is repulsive.

And how did I get there ?, you ask yourself.This kind of parasite is transmitted through the bites of mosquitoes. The woman would have visited a rural area on the outskirts of Moscow, Russia, so the doctors suspect that this would explain the origin of their evil, which makes a lot of sense, since the patient remembered having forgotten her repellent on that occasion and, due to this carelessness, became a delicacy for the insects, if the case of the mysterious bulge in motion would be resolved.
