Capillaria
- Similar to Trichuris, but the difference between anterior and posterior ends of the body is not so pronounced
- Some species have direct life-cycles, others use intermediate or transport hosts
- Species have different predilection sites
- Of greatest importance in birds, although species do occur in the urinary bladder and liver of cats and dogs
- Capillaria aerophila in respiratory disease of cats and dogs
- In nasal passages, sinuses, trachea and bronchi of cats and dogs
- Some dogs cough but often no symptoms
- Mild catharral inflammation
- In heavy infestation may cause obstruction of the lumen of airways and may develop into secondary bronchopneumonia
