The term '''lungworm''' refers to infection of the respiratory tract by [[Helminths|helminth]] parasites in any of the domestic species. The causes of lungworm are:
'''Dogs''': the term lungworm usually refers to [[Angiostrongylosis]] caused by ''[[Angiostrongylus vasorum]]''. [[Filaroides osleri|''Filaroides (Oslerus) osleri'']] and ''[[Crenosoma vulpis]]'' also infect the canine respiratory tract.
'''Cats''': the feline lungworm is ''[[Aelurostrongylus abstrusus]]'' causing [[ Aelurostrongylosis]].
'''Horses and Donkeys''': ''[[Dictyocaulus arnfieldi]]'' causes disease in [[Lungworm - Donkey|donkeys]] and horses. The larvae of ''[[Parascaris equorum]]'' may cause respiratory signs as they migrate through the lungs, a disease called '''Thumps''' or '''Heaves'''.
'''Cattle''': ''[[Dictyocaulus viviparus]]'' causes '''Husk''' in cattle.
'''Sheep''': ''[[Dictyocaulus filaria]]'' causes a similar clinical syndrome to ''D. viviparus'' in cattle. Sheep may also be affected by ''[[Protostrongylus rufescens|Protostongylus]]'' and ''[[Muellerius|Muellerius capillarius]]''.
'''Pigs''': ''[[Metastrongylus]]'' species cause disease in pigs. The larvae of ''[[Ascaris suum]]'' may cause signs of respiratory disease as they migrate through the lungs in heavy infestations.</div>
