As in cattle (above)
Oestrus ovis
Protostrongylus spp.
Muellerius capillaris
Dictyocaulus filaria
- Most susceptible when first exposed to contaminated pasture
- Animals < 1 year old
- Pathogenesis and pathology similar to Dictyocaulus viviparus in cattle
- Bronchitis
In Pigs
Metastrongylus spp.
- Found in bronchioles and smaller bronchi
- Grossly:
- Small grey nodules, especially along ventral border of caudal lobes
- Adult worms in bronchi and bronchioles
- Histologically:
- Catarrhal and eosinophilic bronchitis and bronchiolitis
- Possibly atelectasis
- Rarely becomes extensive
- May transmit swine influenza
Ascaris suum
- May cause parasitic pneumonia during a part of its migration
- Larvae may be infected with Swine influenza
- May cause severe pneumonia in calves housed where infected pigs were housed previously
- Cause diffuse interstitial pneumonia with haemorrhage, atelectasis, interlobular oedema and emphysema
