capillaria aerophila in the domestic cat in australia. 19734774388
lungworm eucoleus aerophilus (capillaria aerophila) infection in a feline immunodeficiency virus-positive cat in france.a 2-year-old domestic shorthair female outdoor cat living in france was diagnosed with a lungworm infection due to eucoleus aerophilus. the history and clinical signs, in association with bronchoscopic examination, suggested chronic upper respiratory disease. cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (balf) was consistent with suppurative bronchitis. direct microscopic examination of balf enabled the identification of e aerophilus ova.201728491425
feline lungworms: what a dilemma.aelurostrongylus abstrusus is regarded as the major lungworm infecting felis catus, although other, albeit poorly studied, nematodes have been described from the respiratory system of domestic cats. recent records of these neglected parasites have renewed the attention of the scientific community, but their actual role in respiratory disease in cats is blurred. the epidemiology, pathogenic role, and diagnosis of troglostrongylus spp., oslerus rostratus, and capillaria aerophila in domestic cats ...201323928099
efficacy of broadline against capillaria aerophila lungworm infection in cats.capillaria aerophila is a globally distributed parasite of the respiratory system of carnivores and can be considered the second most common lungworm after aelurostrongylus abstrusus in domestic cats in the northern hemisphere. to evaluate the efficacy of broadline (merial), a combination of fipronil 8.3% w/v, (s)-methoprene 10% w/v, eprinomectin 0.4% w/v and praziquantel 8.3% w/v against c. aerophila, a controlled study with 20 naturally infected cats was conducted. following blocking by body w ...201525681144
occurrence of lungworms in european wildcats (felis silvestris silvestris) of central italy.the increasing focus on infections in domestic cats ( felis catus ) has raised questions about lungworm distribution in wild hosts. to enhance knowledge of the occurrence of lungworms in enzootic regions of central italy, we examined the carcasses of 16 european wildcats ( felis silvestris silvestris). adult nematodes, feces, respiratory flushings, and pulmonary tissues were collected at necropsy and then microscopically and genetically analyzed. fourteen wildcats had single or mixed lungworm sp ...201626967134
prevalence of endoparasites in household cat (felis catus) populations from transylvania (romania) and association with risk factors.there is no current information regarding the prevalence of parasites in romanian cats. consequently, we conducted a study to evaluate the prevalence of endoparasites in a sample of household cats in the transylvania region, to point out the risk factors for parasite infection and to evaluate the knowledge of cat owners about the zoonotic potential of some parasites. four hundred fourteen faecal samples were collected and examined by sodium chloride flotation followed by microscopy. also, questi ...201020381250
helminths of the tsushima leopard cat (felis bengalensis euptilura).three tsushima leopard cats (felis bengalensis euptilura) in japan were collected as road kills. three species of trematodes (pharyngostomum cordatum, paragonimus sp. and dicrocoeliidae gn. sp.), one species of cestode (spirometra erinacei) and nine species of nematodes (arthrostoma hunanensis, uncinaria felidis, uncinaria sp., ancylostoma tubaeforme, molineus springsmithi, toxocara cati, capillaria aerophila, capillaria felis-cati, and capillaria sp.) were found. among these helminths, arthrost ...19938445779
treatment of troglostrongylus brevior (metastrongyloidea, crenosomatidae) in mixed lungworm infections using spot-on emodepside.feline lungworms have long been known as pathogens of cats. however, an increased incidence of clinical cases in some areas has been the focus of a number of recent epidemiological and clinical studies. while aelurostrongylus abstrusus causes respiratory signs in cats all over the world, troglostrongylus brevior has recently been found in domestic cats from spain and italy (where it often causes severe clinical signs). capillaria aerophila, a parasite that infects many wild carnivores, may cause ...201524793743
simultaneous infection by four feline lungworm species and implications for the diagnosis.besides aelurostrongylus abstrusus, other parasites belonging to the superfamily metastrongyloidea, namely oslerus rostratus, troglostrongylus brevior and to the family trichuridae, i.e. eucoleus aerophilus (syn. capillaria aerophila), have also been reported as agents of respiratory infection in domestic cats. a case of simultaneous infection by four feline lungworm species in sardinia is herein described. an adult female cat (felis silvestris catus), road-killed in the southeast part of sardin ...201525367212
lungworm disease in cats: abcd guidelines on prevention and management.cardiopulmonary nematodes are emerging parasites of cats in europe. a number of helminth parasites may be involved. the most prevalent lungworm in domestic cats is aelurostrongylus abstrusus. oslerus rostratus and troglostrongylus species are found mainly in wild cats. the trichurid capillaria aerophila has a low host specificity and is not uncommon in cats. additionally the lung flukes paragonimus species are reported in many species outside of europe, including cats.201526101316
respiratory nematodes in cat populations of italy.the occurrence of common respiratory parasites of domestic cats (the metastrongyloid "cat lungworm" aelurostrongylus abstrusus and the trichuroid capillaria aerophila) and of neglected respiratory nematodes of felids (troglostrongylus brevior, angiostrongylus chabaudi and oslerus rostratus) was here evaluated in two and three geographical sites of northern and central italy, respectively. in 2014-2015, individual fecal samples of 868 domestic cats were examined microscopically and genetically, a ...201526319524
diagnosis and management of lungworm infections in cats: cornerstones, dilemmas and new avenues.respiratory parasites infecting domestic cats are attracting increased attention in feline clinical practice. in addition to the most commonly recognised 'cat lungworm' aelurostrongylus abstrusus, troglostrongylus brevior and capillaria aerophila are now considered important pathogens of the respiratory tract of cats.201626733545
