Gurltia paralysans infection in a domestic cat in the São Paulo state, southeastern Brazil
Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2023 Gurltia paralysans is a nematode first described in 1933 in Chile, causing a syndrome called feline crural parasitic paraplegia. Insects, mollusks, frogs, lizards, and rodents are paratenic hosts of this nematode, and cats probably become infected by ...
