Lungworm (also known as the husk), is caused by the worm Dictyocaulus viviparus. Lungworms live in the airways of the lungs and can cause severe respiratory problems and coughing. It can affect both young and adult animals after they have been exposed to infected pastures for grazing. Lungworm mainly affects cattle, but has also been seen in other ruminants, such as sheep, goats and deer. The number of cases in lungworm has risen since the 1990s, mostly due to wet summers. Life Cycle Four stages

Angiostrongylus vasorum is the scientific name for the parasite we call the lungworm. If these tiny worms go undetected, the dog will die. They are also skinny and pink, and around 14 to 20 millimeters long .Found not just in dogs but also the red fox,african desert fox,crab eating zorro, horay fox and finally the dog. The general life cycle of a lungworm begins with an ingestion of infective larvae. The infective larvae then penetrate the intestinal wall . From here larvae migrate into the lungs

TYPHOID MARY IN THE FROGPOND: CAN WE USE NATIVE FROGS TO DISSEMINATE A LUNGWORM BIOCONTROL FOR INVASIVE CAN TOADS? I. Introduction: The new population of cane toads has been quickly growing throughout Australia while carrying with it, a parasitic nematode, rhabdias pseudosphaerocepala. Once infected with this lungworm, both adult and metamorph toads can experience stunted growth and reduced stamina. This is a problem that is effecting native species. When predators feast on these toads, they become

Bovine lungworm disease arises from infection with Dictyocaulus viviparous. Infection is far more common in younger animals that have never been exposed than older animals that have acquired immunity. In general this condition is endemic in older animals however disease may still occur. These animals were not infected until August even though they had been grazing the pasture presumably since May. A number of theory’s surround this issue. Ingestion of overwintered larvae involves so few, that neither

with the snail population, the New Guinea Flatworm is also bringing a massive problem into the U.S. that deeply affects humans. This problem is a parasite called the rat lungworm, which New Guinea Flatworms carry. These parasites burrow into the brain and can be spread to humans. The symptoms of those infected with rat lungworm are muscle aches and light sensitivity, but most people recover without ever knowing what

Mrs Jones has a four year old male domestic long hair cat, Ruben, a neutered 5.2kg cat with a long coat. The client finds it difficult to administer any treatment to her cat orally; he lives indoors only and will not tolerate any flea and worming treatments by mouth. 3 questions to be asked in order to collect relevant patient history in order to assess suitability:

The website states that gout can be an issue with well-fed animals. The symptoms to watch for are dragging of the hind legs and if not caught paralysis and death are the result. It is treated fasting the animal for 7 to 10 days. Roundworms and lungworms are parasites that need to be watched for and should be treated. The PARIS website says they can get the west nile virus. Britton (2003) states that if multiple crocodilians are kept together there is a risk of fighting that could result in injury
