| + | |
| + | *[[Taenia|''Taenia hydatigena'']] (''Cysticercus tenuicollis'') in ruminants - [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]], mesentery, [[Peritoneal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|peritoneum]] - large fluid filled. |
| + | *[[Taenia|''Taenia pisiformis'']] (''Cysricercus pisiformis'') in lagomorphs |
| + | *[[Taenia|''Taenia ovis'']] (''Cysticercus ovis'') - sheep, diaphragm - small, firmer. |
| + | *[[Cestodes|''Mesocestoides'']] in carnivores causing pyogranulomatous peritonitis or parasitic ascites |
| + | |
| + | ===Hydatid cysts=== |
| + | |
| + | *[[Echinococcus|''Echinococcus granulosus'']] - any mammal including man |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | ===Other parasites=== |
| + | |
| + | *[[Trematodes|''Fasciola hepatica'']] larvae cause chronic or acute [[Peritoneal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology|peritonitis]] in cattle and sheep |
| + | |
| + | *[[Strongyloidea|''Stephanuris dentatus'']] in pigs causes local haemorrhage, [[Peritoneal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology|peritonitis]] and perihepatitis through its migration through [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] and [[Peritoneal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|peritoneal cavity]] |
| + | |
| + | *[[Strongyloidea|''Strongylus edentatus'' and ''Strongylus equinus'']] migrate through [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] and [[Peritoneal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|peritoneal cavity]], sometimes cause eosinophilic granulomas in mesenteries and omentum of horses |
| + | |
| + | *[[Ascaridoidea|Ascarids]] may cause obstruction or rupture of [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology|small intestines]] or bile duct |
| + | |
| + | *[[Setaria spp.|''Setaria'' spp.]] use [[Peritoneal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|peritoneal cavity]] of many herbivores as their final destination |
| + | **Dead individuals may cause granulomatous [[Peritoneal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology|peritonitis]] |
| + | **Sheathed microphilariae deposited in the [[Peritoneal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|peritoneal cavity]] move to blood and are transferred to their intermediate hosts, the mosquitos or other biting insects |
