==Description==
*Clinical signs of angiostrongylosis are associated with:
**accumulating lung damage caused by eggs and larvae (respiratory distress)
**coagulation disorders caused by adult worms (bruising, haematomas, e.g. in spinal cord)
==Signalment==
==Diagnosis==
*Diagnosis: demonstration of large numbers of L1 in faeces (with Barmann technique).
===Clinical Signs===
===Laboratory Tests===
===Diagnostic Imaging===
===Other Tests===
==Treatment==
*''Angiostrongylus vasorum'' is easy to treat with suitable anthelmintics, but the others require high daily doses of benzimidazoles for 3-7days.
*Two or more courses of treatment may be necessary (with a rest period between each).
