| angiostrongylus vasorum infection in foxes (vulpes vulpes) in cornwall. | a post mortem examination on a young fox which had been observed to be clinically ill revealed a severe infection with angiostrongylus vasorum. a further 11 foxes were examined and four were infected with the parasite; three of these also had advanced lesions of sarcoptic mange. the cases all occurred outside the previously defined focus of endemic infection for dogs in cornwall and they appear to be the first recorded cases of a vasorum in foxes in the united kingdom. | 1996 | 8931300 |

| angiostrongylus vasorum and eucoleus aerophilus in foxes (vulpes vulpes) in great britain. | the nematode parasite angiostrongylus vasorum is a source of increasing concern in several parts of the world, where it causes significant disease in dogs. wild canids, especially foxes, are likely to have a role in the epidemiology of canine infection, and the parasite could also affect fox health and population dynamics. the heart and pulmonary vasculature of 546 foxes culled mostly by gamekeepers in great britain in 2005-2006 were examined by dissection and a modified flushing technique. fort ... | 2008 | 18407416 |

| angiostrongylus vasorum infection in 23 dogs (1999-2002). | angiostrongylosis was diagnosed in 23 dogs presenting to the queen mother hospital for animals between june 1999 and august 2002. the animals' clinical records were reviewed retrospectively and certain risk factors were compared with a control population of 3407 dogs. twenty-two of the 23 dogs were from south-east england and dogs from surrey (n=8) were significantly overrepresented. there were also significantly more cavalier king charles spaniels (n=5) and staffordshire bull terriers (n=5) amo ... | 2004 | 15460201 |
| angiostrongylus vasorum in great britain: a nationwide postal questionnaire survey of veterinary practices. | the lungworm, angiostrongylus vasorum, was first reported in indigenous dogs in southwestern england in 1980 and has since been recorded in wales, southeastern england and, more recently, in the west midlands, northern england and scotland. the nationwide distribution of the parasite was evaluated using a postal questionnaire sent to 3950 small animal practices during 2009. information was sought on the location of each practice, awareness of the parasite locally, number of cases diagnosed over ... | 2014 | 24852845 |
| spatial, demographic and clinical patterns of angiostrongylus vasorum infection in the dog population of southern england. | a retrospective study was carried out to provide updated knowledge of the spatial pattern of angiostrongylus vasorum infection in southern england and to investigate associations between selected host characteristics (age, breed, sex), risk of infection and clinical presentation (cardiorespiratory signs v haemorrhagic diathesis). one hundred and forty-one cases diagnosed between april 1999 and july 2012 were compared with a control population of dogs referred to the same hospital. a significant ... | 2014 | 24878572 |
| molecular identification of novel intermediate host species of angiostrongylus vasorum in greater london. | angiostrongylus vasorum is a parasitic nematode that can cause serious and potentially fatal disease in dogs and other canids. the aim of this study was to determine the intermediate slug species infected in nature by sampling sites in greater london and hertfordshire located within a known hyperendemic region. overall, a. vasorum larvae were recovered from 6/381 slugs (1.6%) by tissue digestion, and their identity was confirmed by pcr. infected slugs originated from three different sites in the ... | 2014 | 25195057 |
