Dog's lungworm disease in the Czech Republic
Original language description
In effort to assess the occurrence of two metastrongylid nematodes, Crenosoma vulpis and Angiostrongylus vasorum in dogs in the Czech Republic, a study focused on detection and determination of these two species was performed. A. vasorum is a highly pathogenic nematode which can cause various clinical symptoms as coughing, weakness, vomiting, diarrhoea, haemorrhage, neurological symptoms and even death. Data on clinical signs of C. vulpis infection in dogs are rare and usually include respiratory symptoms. The life cycle is indirect, where dogs acquire infection by the ingestion of terrestrial snails and slug gastropod intermediate hosts. Till now, in total 100 samples of dog's faecal samples were examined using Baermann larvoscopic method and the dataabout breed, sex, age, clinical status and locality of the dogs were collected. The larvae were morphologically determined and the DNA isolation, PCR of three fragmens of 28S rDNA and sequencing were performed. Out of 100 samples, 6 were
