title: Ocular thelaziosis due to Thelazia callipaeda in a cat from northeastern Portugal.
abstract: Cases of feline thelaziosis have seldom been published in the scientific literature. We report the first autochthonous case of feline ocular thelaziosis in Portugal caused by Thelazia callipaeda and suggest that this infestation should be included among differential diagnoses of ocular diseases in cats from this country.
