Article Synopsis
- Angiostrongylus vasorum, or French heartworm, is a parasitic nematode mainly affecting canines, with cases expanding in North America, particularly in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and now Tennessee.
- Recent cases in Tennessee included a black bear and a coyote, both found to have verminous pneumonia, indicating the presence of this parasite in the region.
- Genetic analysis showed these Tennessee cases are closely related to European strains, highlighting the growing threat A. vasorum poses to wild and domestic canids in North America and the need for increased monitoring.
Toxoplasma gondii is an important protozoan parasite of humans and animals throughout the world. Black bears are among the animals with the highest seroprevalence of T. gondii in the United States.
