Pathological changes in dictyocaulosis of reindeer [PDF]
Rangifer, 1990 The lungworms produce pathological alterations in the lungs and may cause severe illness in many wild and domsticated animals. The infection was documented more than half a century ago in reindeer by Hellesnes (1935). The lungworm of reindeer was originally described as Dictyocaulus viviparus (Bloch 1782) but was identified as. D.

Bovine dictyocaulosis. Pattern of infection and the prevention of parasitic bronchitis. [PDF]
Acta Vet Scand, 1980 A combined epidemiology and control investigation was performed with parasite-free calves turned out in May on a permanent pasture naturally contaminated with lungworm larvae the previous year. Before the start the field was divided into two plots. One plot was grazed by 12 calves after the first week of May.

Large lungworms (Nematoda: Dictyocaulidae) recovered from the European bison may represent a new nematode subspecies [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020 Although the Dictyocaulus lungworm, the agent of dictyocaulosis, is one of parasitological threats to European bison, its systematic position remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the morphological features of the lungworm and the
