Q

Life cycle of Dictyocaulus viviparus (9)

A

Penetration phase, pre-patent phase, patent phase, post-patent phase

  1. L1 larvae shed in faeces -> moult
  2. L2 in faeces -> moult
  3. L3 larvae:
    1. Migrate onto pastures and picked up by other cattle
    2. Disseminated by rain splash (raindrops)
    3. Disseminated by pilobolus fungi
  4. L3 ingested by cattle
  5. L3 migrate to blood/lymph system then lungs -> moult
  6. L4 in lungs -> moult
  7. L5 in lungs
  8. Adult worms in cattle live in main respiratory passages (trachea + bronchi)
  9. Female lay eggs in bronchi:
    • Hatch almost immediately -> L1
    • Get coughed up and then swallowed into the gut -> faeces = sluggish, brown food granules
  • L1 -> L3 in 5 days under optimum conditions (wet + mild climate)

Q

What does the penetration phase of Dictyocaulus viviparus involve? (5)

A
  • 0-7 days post-infection (PI)
  • L3 ingested
  • Migrates to lymph nodes
  • Moults to L4
  • Bloodstream → Lungs

Q

What does the pre-patent phase of Dictyocaulus viviparus involve? (5)

A
  • 8-25 days PI
  • L4 → alveoli
  • Moults to L5
  • Migrates → bronchi
  • Matures to adult

Q

What does the post-patent phase of Dictyocaulus viviparus involve? (3)

A
  • 55 days PI
  • Immune expulsion of worms = strong response
  • Larval development can arrest

21
Q

What is the Baermann method of lungworm detection?

A

Using gauzed faeces and funnel - leave for 24 hours to drain into a test tube - allow material to sink to bottom and withdraw add Lugol’s iodine on slide and examine under microscope

Q

Metastrongyles in dogs (3)

A

Angiostrongylus

  • Oslerus
  • Crenosoma
  • Filaroides
28
Q

Metastrongyles in cats

A

Aelurostrongylus

29
Q

Metastrongyles in pigs

A

Metastrongylus

30
Q

Metastrongyles in sheep and goats (3)

A
  • Muellerius - muelleris capillaris lives within lung parenchyma
  • Protostrongylus
  • Cystocaulus
31
Q

Typical features of metastrongyles (nematode) (5)

A
32
Q

Typical life cycle of metastrongyle (6)

A
  1. L1 in faeces
  2. L1 directly penetrates snail (intermediate host)
  3. L1 undergoes moults to L3
  4. Mammal host e.g. sheep ingests snail/L3 larvae
  5. L3 released from snail and migrates from gut to lungs via lymph vessels and develops itno adult worm
  6. L1 coughed up and then swallowed into guts and passed out in faeces

39
Q

What are the clinical signs of Angiostrongylus vasorum? (5)

A
40
Q

Diagnostic recommendations of Angiostrongylus vasorum
