Parasitic bronchopneumonia plays an important role, especially in the respiratory diseases of cats. species have been reported as lung parasites of wild cats; however, in recent years, they have also been found in domestic cats, especially from the Mediterranean and Balkan countries. In this report, was found during the examination of lung samples of a tabby cat who was euthanized at the age of 2 years. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of in Turkey.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of a spot-on treatment called NexGard® Combo, containing eprinomectin, esafoxolaner, and praziquantel, for treating respiratory diseases in cats caused by metastrongyloids Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Troglostrongylus brevior.
- Conducted with 36 infected cats divided into two groups, the treatment regimen involved administering the medication on specified study days while monitoring parasitological, clinical, and radiographic changes.
- Results showed 100% efficacy in reducing larval shedding in cats with single infections and significant clinical improvement in all cats after two treatments, highlighting the treatment's effectiveness against the parasites.

A survey for slug- and snail-associated nematodes was conducted in forests, parks, botanical gardens, and nature reserves at 13 localities in Belgium to uncover more diversity of gastropod mollusc-associated nematodes and to characterise populations found in the country. A total of 319 slugs and snails belonging to nine species were examined. was the most commonly found mollusc species in this study (eight locations), and 19.

Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, Oslerus rostratus, and Troglostrongylus brevior are nematodes found in the respiratory system of domestic cats and cause a variety of symptoms. All three parasites use the same hosts and niches, and the morphological measurements of their L1s excreted in faeces overlap with each other. In this study, 300 cats brought to Ondokuz Mayıs University Veterinary Teaching Animal Hospital were screened for lungworms by morphological measurements and molecular analyses.

Lungworms are a major cause of feline respiratory disease, frequently underdiagnosed due to its presentation of symptoms being similar to that of other feline respiratory pathologies. Epidemiological data about these nematodes are scarce in the Canary Islands (Spain). Given the veterinary importance of these parasites, the aim of the present study was to improve the current epidemiological knowledge of the lungworm species that could be affecting feral cats in this archipelago.

Feline troglostrongylosis caused by is increasingly reported in European countries. Although the disease can be severe and potentially life-threatening, especially in kittens and young cats, effective treatment options are still limited. Two administrations of emodepside 2 weeks apart have shown promising results for the treatment of infection in single cases and in a field trial.
