Life History of the Canine Lungworm Angiostrongylus vasorum (Baillet)

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1970
SUMMARY Angiostrongylus vasorum did not develop in the brain of its final host as does Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Rather, the 3rd and 4th molts occurred in abdominal visceral lymph nodes, and the parasites then migrated, via the liver, to the heart and pulmonary arteries where their development was completed.
