Abstract

Abstract Aelurostrongylosis, caused by the metastrongylid nematode Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, is an underestimated feline respiratory disease. Cats infected by A. abstrusus may show subclinical to severe clinical signs. Aelurostrongylus abstrusus has a worldwide distribution. Nevertheless, studies on this parasite in Brazil are scarce, and most have been conducted in the southern regions. This study investigated the occurrence of A. abstrusus in cats in Vilhena, Rondônia, Brazil, from April 2020 to February 2021. Three consecutive individual fecal samples from 101 cats were examined using Baermann and Hoffman tests. Two cats (1.98%) scored positive for A. abstrusus, one with the Baermann examination, and one with the Hoffman technique. No other lungworms were retrieved. The clinicopathological and epizootiological implications are described and discussed.

巴西Vilhena市Rondônia家猫中隐杆线虫的发生情况。

丝状圆线虫病是一种被低估的猫科呼吸系统疾病，由细丝状圆线虫引起。猫感染了抽象虫可能会表现出亚临床到严重的临床症状。摘要粗杆线虫分布在世界各地。然而，在巴西对这种寄生虫的研究很少，而且大多数是在南部地区进行的。本研究调查了2020年4月至2021年2月在巴西Vilhena, Rondônia的猫中出现的抽象拟南蝽。使用Baermann和Hoffman测试对101只猫的三个连续的个体粪便样本进行了检查。2只猫(1.98%)的抽象虫阳性，1只采用Baermann检查，1只采用Hoffman技术。没有发现其他肺虫。临床病理和流行病学的影响描述和讨论。
