“…Detailed morphometric studies (n=10) revealed the size of the eggs to be 81.78 ± 5.90 μm (74.8 -86.2 μm) × 65.8 ± 4.90 μm (57.0 -71.2 μm) (length × breadth). The results were in concordance with the fi ndings of Gonzalez et al (2007) and Okulewicz et al (2012), who reported T. leonina eggs with smooth walls and without any albuminous coat. The lions showed high egg per gram values (1033.33 ± 251.66, 1433.33 ± 251.66 and 783.33 ± 175.59) for T. leonina eggs before the therapeutic interventions during the three treatment schedules, which was further reduced with appropriate anthelmintics used (fenbendazole and ivermectin).…”

SummaryThe eggs recovered during faecal screening of Asiatic lions (kept at MC Zoological Park, Punjab, India) were delineated as Toxascaris leonina eggs based on morphometric and molecular studies (polymerase chain reaction targeting internal transcribed spacer sequences). Therapeutic management with fenbendazole @10 mg/kg body weight, once daily orally for three consecutive days proved ineffective with maximum faecal egg count reduction (FECR) on day 3 post treatments (69.35 %). But, therapeutic intervention with extended period dose schedule (5 consecutive days) with fenbendazole (@10 mg/kg body weight) proved effective and showed a maximum FECR of 95.34 % at day 7 post treatments. But, when ivermectin (@100μg/kg body weight) was given orally on three alternate days, proved effective as FECR of 95.74 % was recorded at day 7 post treatments. Thus, present study highlights the molecular confi rmation of T. leonina and its management using fenbendazole and ivermectin in Asiatic lions.

“…Aelurostrongylus abstrusus is a metastrongylide nematode parasite, which is known to infect the lungs of cats and other felids such as the Amur cat ( Felis bengalensis euptilurus ) (Gonzáles et al 2007) and the Eurasian lynx ( Lynx lynx ) (Szczesna et al 2006). This nematode is widespread and has been found repeatedly in almost all countries in Europe, frequently in Australia, several times in North and South America and sporadically in Asia and Africa.…”

Infections with the metastrongyloid nematode Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats have been reported sporadically from Germany. To assess the occurrence and regional geographical distribution of A. abstrusus in Germany, faecal samples from 391 cats with symptoms of respiratory disease were collected from December 2009 to November 2011. The zinc chloride/sodium chloride flotation and Baermann funnel technique were used to examine the samples for the presence of lungworm larvae. The collected data were analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS). Infections with lungworms were diagnosed in 26 (6.6 %) of the examined cats. The infection rates did not show significant differences in the age groups up to 7 years. Only cats older than 7 were significantly less infected with lungworms than young cats. Sixteen of the 192 female cats examined and 7 of the 186 males were positive for A. abstrusus, but there were no significant differences for the variable ‘gender infection rate’. Most of the A. abstrusus-positive cats were located in Baden-Wuerttemberg, followed by Lower Saxony, Bremen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saarland, Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein. The majority of infected cats showed severe clinical symptoms characterised by coughing and dyspnoea, increased breathing rate, weight loss, bronchopneumonia, generally poor condition, sneezing and nasal discharge. The high number of lungworm-positive cats and the severe clinical symptoms should encourage veterinarians in Germany to consider infections with A. abstrusus as a differential diagnosis in cats with symptoms of respiratory disease.
