“…Previously, the dog had been treated with antibiotics and prednisolone and had temporary improvement in clinical signs; however, the dog had increased lung sounds, monocytosis and peribronchial cuffing and a bronchial lung pattern on thoracic radiographs. The tracheal mucosa was hyperaemic, and mucopurulent exudate in the lower bronchi and nematode parasites were detected during bronchoscopic examination 4 . The case described by Husnik and colleagues and our clinical case share some common findings: chronic coughing, gagging and moderate improvement after antibiotic and prednisolone treatment; however, that case did not result in the complete resolution of clinical signs.…”

“…This parasite was first reported in dogs in the United Kingdom in 1992 2 . After this first report, occasional cases have been described in dogs from several European countries, such as Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Belgium 3 and Czech Republic 4 . Crenosomosis is thought to be more relevant in Central and Northern Europe than in Southern Europe 5 .…”

“…Specifically, heavier infections are associated with more pronounced and severe clinical signs. Typical signs include coughing, gagging and tachypnoea 2,4 . In the case of a light infection, the cough is dry, but when the dog suffers a more severe infection, the cough becomes productive 2 …”

A 1.5‐year‐old male American Staffordshire Terrier with a chronic cough was referred to the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies veterinary hospital. A diagnosis of bronchopneumopathy was reached by means of radiography and CT. Nematode parasites were detected during bronchoscopy and were collected by bronchoalveolar lavage. Parasitological examination confirmed infection with Crenosoma vulpis. Treatment with fenbendazole at 50 mg/kg for 3 days was effective.

“…Lungworms Angiostrongylus vasorum (1.7%) and Crenosoma vulpis (0.9%) were detected by larvoscopy testing, similar results were obtained in 2017 [25]. As lungworms in the dogs were rarely identi ed in the Czech Republic in the past, disease awareness of lungworms among animal owners and veterinarians should be implemented [30]. Based on the investigated group of individuals, the vast majority of dogs may occasionally become infected during a walk.…”

Background Endoparasites of the canine gastrointestinal and respiratory tract represent a wide range of protozoans and helminths. They are causative agents of different serious diseases of animals and many of them also pose zoonotic risks to human health. The education of dog owners and their families with the principles of human and animal health protection may especially prevent the spread of zoonoses such giardiosis, toxocarosis, echinococcosis and Taenia crassiceps infection. Pulmonary nematods are not zoonotic but they can cause serious and potentially fatal disease in dogs.MethodsThree hundred ninety-one samples of canine faeces and 398 completed questionnaires were collected. The questionnaires comprised of description of individual dogs and detailed data about the way the dogs were kept and their deworming. Samples were examined by flotation, larvoscopy by Baermann and PCR method.ResultsWe confirmed infection of Giardia spp., Isospora ohioensis, Neospora caninum/Hammondia heydorni, Ancylostoma spp., Angiostrongylus vasorum, Capillaria spp., Crenosoma vulpis, Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Trichuris spp. and Taenia spp. Sequences were obtained for 3 of them confirming T. crassiceps. No deworming treatment was recorded for insignificant number of dogs. Dog owners most often used multicomponent endoparasitics.ConclusionsMost of the dogs were dewormed irregularly and antiparasitics were administered namely twice a year, so monthly intervals were not performed in the group of dogs at risk for e.g. possibility of predation. Consumption of antiparasitic drugs cannot ensure the protection of dogs, their owners and other people, unless not applied purposefully, with appropriate knowledge and on the basis of the veterinarian's advice.

“…Therapy of crenosomosis has often been based on fenbendazole or levamisole, but medication protocols using milbemycin oxime/praziquantel and imidacloprid/moxidectin combinations are also effective (Willesen et al 2007;Husnik et al 2010;Conboy et al 2013).…”

ABSTRACT:Angiostrongylus vasorum and Crenosoma vulpis are parasites in the respiratory tract of domestic and wild carnivores. Recently, an increasing number of lungworm infections in dogs has been recognized in Europe. In this report, the results of the first copro-epidemiological study of A. vasorum and C. vulpis in dogs from Slovakia are presented. The Baermann technique and the modified flotation method with zinc sulphate solution (specific gravity 1.2) was used for lungworm detection. In addition, conventional PCR was performed for species confirmation. The majority of lungworm infections were found in the eastern part of the country. A relatively high prevalence (4.13%) of A. vasorum was detected in different parts of Slovakia. Infection was detected most frequently incidentally in asymptomatic dogs. Within this study, crenosomosis was detected for the first time in dogs from Slovakia. Since one infected dog had no travel history, the case is considered autochthonous. An autochthonous case report of angiostrongylosis in a Hanoverian hound puppy from central Slovakia is also described.
