**[[Filaroides osleri|''Filaroides (Oslerus) osleri'']] and ''Crenasoma vulpis'' also infect the canine respiratory tract.

'''Cats''': the feline lungworm is ''[[Aelurostrongylus abstrusus]]'' causing [[ Aelurostrongylosis]].

*'''Cats'''

 

**The feline lungworm is ''[[Aelurostrongylus abstrusus]]''.

'''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'''

'''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]]''.

**''[[Dictyocaulus viviparus]]'' causes '''Husk''' in cattle.

 

*'''Sheep'''

'''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>
