*Grossly:
  −
**Firm yellow nodules scattered throughout parenchyma, more frequently at periphery
  −
*Microscopically:
  −
**Eggs and larvae in the alveolar spaces cause a foreign body type reaction (surrounded by mononuclear cells and giant cells)
  −
**Submucosal gland hypertrophy and smooth muscle hypertrophy in airway and vessel walls
  −
*Associated clinical signs are mild although heavy infestations may -> chronic coughing
  −
*The airway eosinophilia which may be detected can be confused with a diagnosis of asthma
