Large lungworms (Nematoda: Dictyocaulidae) recovered from the European bison may represent a new nematode subspecies

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

The long‐term outcome and changes in tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient in dogs diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and Angiostrongylus vasorum infestation

Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 66, Issue 11, Page 797-807, November 2025.
Objectives Angiostrongylus vasorum (AV) is a metastrongylid parasite that has been associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) in dogs. The objectives of the study were to describe the clinical presentation of dogs with AV and PH, document changes in tricuspid regurgitation maximum pressure gradient (TR Max PG) in subsequent months and years, record ...

Hurdles in the evolutionary epidemiology of Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Pseudogenes, incongruence between taxonomy and DNA sequence variants, and cryptic lineages [PDF]

, 2018
Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the rat lungworm, is a zoonotic pathogen that is one of the leading causes of eosinophilic meningitis worldwide. This parasite is regarded as an emerging pathogen with a global range expansion out of southeastern Asia post ...

Intestinal Nematode Infection Confers a Benefit to a Non‐Declining Frog Species, While a Fungal Parasitic Infection Has Sublethal Impacts on Reproductive Investment

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Understanding the impacts of disease even in non‐declining populations is important for understanding population level health and resilience to other emerging threats. In this study we explored the impacts of co‐infection of the fungal pathogen and a novel nematode parasite on a common Australian frog species. We found that this novel nematode actually

Brucellosis in Marine Mammals: Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence, Infection Patterns, Host Specificity and Zoonotic Potential

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Marine brucellosis shows high prevalence in cetaceans (52%), followed by other marine mammals (30%) and pinnipeds (18%), indicating species‐specific susceptibility. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and diagnostic strategies to mitigate ecological and zoonotic risks.

A comparison of helminth infections as assessed through coprological analysis and adult worm burdens in a wild host

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2018
Coprological analysis is the most widely used diagnostic tool for helminth infection in both domestic and wild mammals. Evaluation of the efficacy of this technique is rare, due to the lack of availability of adult worm burden.

Hyperkalaemia secondary to suspected transient hyporeninaemic hypoaldosteronism in a dog (in a dog)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract A 12‐year‐7‐month‐old, female, entire beagle dog was presented to a referral hospital in England for a 10‐day history of tachypnoea and lethargy. Angiostrongylus vasorum ELISA test was positive, and the patient was started on fenbendazole. One week later, it became lethargic, anorexic, polyuric and polydipsic, and it was diagnosed with an open
