A previously healthy Scottish terrier developed verminous pneumonia due to Filaroides hirthi. The disease was diagnosed on the basis of cytology of a transtracheal wash, which contained 17 per cent eosinophils and a large number of parasite larvae. Treatment with 50 mg/kg bodyweight fenbendazole daily for three weeks eliminated the parasites and improved the clinical condition of the dog.

Article Synopsis
- Pneumonia is a common condition in Alpine chamois, but the specific causes are not well understood.
- This study investigated the presence of certain bacterial infections and lungworms in lung tissues from 45 chamois showing signs of pneumonia.
- Results showed that a specific bacteria was linked to severe lungworm infections, marking it as the first report of this bacterial association with pneumonia in chamois.

Bovine lungworms (Dictyocaulus viviparus) are nematodes which cause a respiratory disease known as verminous bronchitis or pneumonia. In this paper, we describe 20 outbreaks of bovine dictyocaulosis recorded between 2000 and 2023 in Central Argentina. Outbreaks occurred more frequently during the autumn-winter season (from April to August) and affected cattle under 1 year old in beef production systems.

Department of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj-Napoca, Calea Mănăștur 3-5, Cluj-Napoca, 400372, Romania.
Background: Dictyocaulosis is a parasitic disease caused by pulmonary nematodes from genus Dictyocaulus affecting various ungulate hosts. It can cause verminous bronchopneumonia and for heavily infected individuals, fatal outcomes can occur.
Case Presentation: The study describes the case of a male European bison which died three months after relocation from Slovakia to one of the reintroduction areas in Nucșoara village, Făgăraș Mountains, Romania.
Relationship between nutritional condition and causes of death in beluga whales Delphinapterus leucas from the St. Lawrence estuary, Quebec, Canada.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes beluga whale carcasses from the St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada, since 1983 to understand the nutritional condition related to various causes of death.
- By refining death categories and using Bayesian linear models, researchers identified distinct nutritional conditions linked to specific causes, such as lower conditions for those that died from neonatal mortality and primary starvation.
- The findings suggest a connection between chronic health issues and poorer nutritional conditions in belugas, while surprising results show that whales dying from trauma did not necessarily exhibit the highest nutritional health.

Department of Biomedical and Diagnostic Sciences, University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, 2407 River Drive, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA.
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.
