Detection of infection with Angiostrongylus vasorum (Nematoda, Strongylida) by PCR [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2010
Background The French heart worm Angiostrongylus vasorum is a parasitic nematode of the pulmonary arteries and heart of canines often with severe and in some cases fatal outcome. The diagnosis is based on detection and species identification of larvae in faeces which can be problematic in Veterinary praxis especially in cases with low excreting animals.
