*Lesions in the lung may be due to:
**Parasites passing through the lung as part of their migration e.g. [[Respiratory Parasitic Infections - Pathology#Ascaris suum|''Ascaris suum'']] in the pig, aberrant migration in the case of flukes;
**Parasites for which the lung is the target tissue e.g. [[Respiratory Parasitic Infections - Pathology#Dictyocaulus viviparus|''Dictyocaulus viviparus'']]
*Lesions can vary from interstitial to [[Bronchitis|chronic bronchitis]] to [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Granulomatous pneumonia|granulomatous pneumonia]]
*May be infiltrate of eosinophils in pulmonary interstitium and bronchoalveolar spaces
*[[Atelectasis|Atelectasis]] and [[Pulmonary Emphysema|emphysema]] may result due to obstruction
