Abstract
CASE 1: A 74-year-old man having a week's fever and diagnosed with a liver abscess was treated with several antibiotics and percutaneous liver drainage. His respiration gradually worsened and chest computed tomography (CT) showed right pleural effusion and a left-lung mass. Percutaneous fine needle...

Abstract
We found that across six sampling periods, 100% of wild bighorn sheep surveyed were passing first-stage dorsal-spined larvae (DSL) which appeared to be consistent with M. capillaris. By contrast, only 39% or fewer sheep were passing Protostrongylus larvae. Using molecular techniques, we positively i...

Abstract
Human pulmonary and subcutaneous dirofilariosis caused by Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens are worldwide diagnosed with increasing frequency. These species are responsible for the development of benign pulmonary and subcutaneous nodules, respectively, that can be confused with lung or cuta...

Abstract
We encountered 8 adult cases of pulmonary toxocariasis. Five were asymptomatic, 1 had transient chest pain, 1 suffered from arthralgia and migrating skin pain, and 1 had chest discomfort due to pneumothorax. Infection was associated with the consumption of raw liver with paratenic hosts in 5 patient...

Abstract
C hepatica, an important zoonotic parasite, and C fasciolaris are common parasites in rodents. In rodent livers, C hepatica causes sequential morphologic changes that are designated as early, intermediate, or late phase, and C fasciolaris forms cysts surrounded by fibroplasia and gra...

Abstract
Under light microscope, the alveolar exudation in the lung tissue was more frequently observed in the control group, while the alveolar space was fairly dry in the lung tissue of ICCBco group. Under electron microscope, more alveolar exudation in the lung tissue, and more macrophages, alveolar angio...

Abstract
We examined trematode and nematode lung helminths commonly found in two species of host ranid frogs for competitive interactions. We examined 147 adult (breeding and non-breeding) and juvenile northern leopard frogs, and 84 breeding male wood frogs in Bishops Mills, Ontario for Haematoloechus spp. (...

Abstract
Two 9 month old dogs, that were presented with a history of increasing dyspnoea, are discussed. Examination of blood and lung lavage material gave indications for a parasitic cause. Using the Baermann method of fresh feces, larvae of the French heartworm Angiostrongylus vasorum were found. This worm...

Abstract
We performed fiberoptic bronchoscopy and CT-guided percutaneous needle lung biopsy on the suspicion of lung cancer, but the tissue consisted largely of granulation tissue with eosinophilic infiltration and no findings of malignancy. The cold-like symptoms subsided and C-reactive protein became withi...

Abstract
We performed a lower lobectomy. Histopathologically, there were irregularly shaped necrotizing granulomas and an area of acute hemorrhagic, eosinophilic abscess. We suspected paragonimiasis. The diagnosis of paragonimiasis miyazakii was confirmed by ELISA. This is a valuable case of suspected parago...

Pulmonary parasitism by pentastomids was examined in two lizard species inhabiting an area of restinga vegetation (coastal sand dunes) situated in the municipality of Mataraca (6 degrees 29' S and 34 degrees 56' W), on the extreme northern coast of ParaÃba State, Brazil. A total of 123 lizards we...

Bird schistosomes and cases of human cercarial dermatitis occur worldwide, but the number of cases is not monitored. Experiments with two schistosomes, namely Trichobilharzia szidati and T. regenti, show that they possess potent tools to penetration bird and mammalian skin, as well as exhibit specie...

Abstract
Human dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria repens is a parasitic infection, currently considered to be an emerging zoonosis, that has been observed in many areas of the Old World. Dogs are the main 'reservoir' host. In humans, D. repens can cause inflammatory nodules, most commonly in the subcutaneo...

Strongyloidiasis can present with a wide variety of symptoms and can lead to a potentially fatal hyperinfection. Although any factors that suppress the host defense mechanisms can potentially trigger hyperinfection, prolonged steroid use has been quite well described. A patient with disseminated sma...
