DISTRIBUTION OF PARELAPHOSTRONGYLUS TENUIS (NEMATODA: METASTRONGYLOIDEA) IN WHITE-TAILED DEER FROM OKLAHOMA [PDF]
The meningeal worm (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) was found in 75 of 190 (39%) white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) examined in Oklahoma from 1977-81. Infections were found in deer from southeastern mixed forest, oak-hickory forest, oak-bluestem parkland and oak-hickory parkland, and not in deer from western bluestem prairie, bluestem-grama prairie

Occurrence of larvae of Metastrongyloidea in feaces of cats from southeastern Poland [PDF]
Faecal samples from 716 cats from Poland, were examined for lungworm larvae (Metastrongyloidea) by flotation, sedimentation and Baermann techniques between January 2016 and April 2019 year. In total, 1.1% (8/716; CI ± 95% 0.3-1.9) of cats shed lungworm larvae.

Serum protein profile of cats as biomarker of Aelurostrongylus abstrusus invasion
Lung strongyloidoses in cats are caused by members of superfamily Metastrongyloidea. The most frequently encountered species Aelurostrongylus abstrusus (Railliet, 1898) (Rhabditida; Angiostrongylidae) parasitises in the lung tissue of both domestic and ...

Gastropod-derived haemocyte extracellular traps entrap metastrongyloid larval stages of Angiostrongylus vasorum, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Troglostrongylus brevior [PDF]
Background: Phagocyte-derived extracellular traps (ETs) were recently demonstrated mainly in vertebrate hosts as an important effector mechanism against invading parasites.

The intermediate hosts of the French heartworm Angiostrongylus vasorum are aquatic and terrestrial gastropods. The present work is aimed at clarifying the sites of penetration and the migratory routes of A. vasorum in Biomphalaria glabrata snail tissues and evaluating their perilarval reaction with regard to the cellular composition and histological ...

Thirteen species of terrestrial gastropods from the Kingsbury State Fish and Wildlife Area, Indiana, were examined for the presence of third-stage larvae (L3s) of the meningeal worm, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, during the summers of 1987 and 1988. Three (Deroceras laeve, Discus cronkhitei, and unidentified species of Cochlicopa [= Cionella]) were ...
