Diagnostic Investigation of Two Cases of Oslerus osleri Infection in Dogs: Microscopic Challenges and Molecular Characterisation. [PDF]
Vet Med SciTwo cases of young dogs with chronic cough were investigated, one with bronchoalveolar lavage for cytology, the other with endoscopic biopsy for histopathology. DNA was extracted from stained smears and from formalin paraffin‐embedded blocs, six primer pairs spanning the ribosomal RNA gene of O.

Feline lungworms unlock a novel mode of parasite transmission. [PDF]
, 2015 Snail-borne lungworms exert an enormous toll on the health and welfare of animals and humans. Of these parasites, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Troglostrongylus brevior affect the respiratory tract of felids.
