Describe the life cycle of D viviparus

Pre patent period: ingestion of L3, L4 migrate through bloodstream to lungs, L5 move to upper RT


Patent period: Adults lay eggs in alveoli and eggs are coughed up, swallowed eggs are hatched and L2 excreted

Where does pathology occur in the d viviparus life cycle

Alveolitis in the prepatent period, bronchiolitis and bronchitis


Parasitic bronchitis and pneumonia due to foreign body resopnse

What can lead to further damage in postpatent phase

Alveolar epithelialisation


Superimposed bacterial infection

What spp does d arnfeldii infect

Horses and donkeys

What is the life cycle of muelleris capillaris

Adult worms lay effs and L1 hatch in bronchi and trachea


Coughed up and swallowed and shed


L3 development within snails


PPP between infection and shed is 1 month

What does metastrongylus cause

Bronchi/bronchiole parasite of pigs

What is aelurostrongylus

Cat lungworm

What forms hyatid cysts

Echinococcus granulosus

What is type one hypersensetivity

When antigen is presented to CD4 TH2 cells that are specific to an antigen this stimulates B cells to produce IGE


This binds to the antigen and then to FC receptros causing degranulation of mast cells

What is type 3 hypersensetivity

Immune complexes deposited in vasculature


Triggers complement


Influx of phagocytes and granulocytes producing inflammatory mediators

What is PIE

Type 1 hypersensetivity


Pulmonary infiltration with eosinophillia


Eosinophils predominate airways

What is Extrinsic allergic alveolitis?

Type 3 hypersensitivity reaction caused by mouldy hay - fungal spores


Micropolyspora faeni and thermacinomyces vulgaris


Primarily housed animals in winter

What do you see macroscopically with Extrinsic allergic alveolitis?

Normal but may have numerous very small grey nodules

What would you see microscopically with extrinsic allergic alveolitis

Lymphocytic/plasmocytic bronchitis/bronchiolitis


Thickening of alveolar septae also present


Chronicl esions - type 2 hyperplasia


May lead to cor pulmonale in sever cases

What is COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary diease


Chronic coughing and poor performance


Respiratory distress - increased expiratory effort


Characteristic heave line

What is aspiration pneumonia

Response of lungs to aspirated foregn material


Severe necrotising pneumonia and gangrenous necrosis

What is lipid pneumonia?

Endogenous or exogenous - accumulation of lipids in pulmonary macrophages if endogenous or inhalation of oils/lipids producing a macrophage dominant reaction

What is uraemic pneumonia

Ureamia causes increased permeability of the blood air barrier


In addition to the oedema there may also be degeneration and calcifiction of the smooth muscle and CT

What causes this


Patent phase of D. Viviparus

D viviparus


Patent phase - foreign body response - dark red collapsed areas

Prepatent phase of d. viviparus

Larvae appear in the alveoli and cause alveolitis


Bronchiolitis and bronchitis occur


Plug airways resulting i collapse distal to the lsion


Interstitial emphysema and oedema in severe burdens

Patent pahse of d viviparus

Parasitic bronchitis - inflammatory response


Epithelial hyperplasia


Pneumonia - aspiraiton of eggs and larvae into alveoli - dark red collapsed areas

Postpatent phase of d viviparus

recovery phase


alveolar epithelialisation


superimposed bacterial infeciton

What is this a pathognomonic leison of 

What is this a pathognomonic leison of

Muelleris capillaris


Lead shot lesions in dorsal regions of caudal lobes


very little significance

Mueleris capillaris

What is this and what spp would you find it in

What is this and what spp would you find it in

Aulurostrongylus abstrusus


Lungworm of cats


Foreign body reaciton

Subpleural firm yellow nodules scattered throughout the parenchyma - more frequent at the periphery

What would you see with a. abstrusus

Submucosal gland hypertrophy


Smooth muscle hytpetrrophy


Foreign body response - macrophages and giant cells

Echinococcus granulosus - little significance

Where does A vasorum reside and what does it cause

Pulmonary arteries and ventricles


Pulmonary hypertension and oedema

What is type 1 hypersensetivity

IgE bound mast cell binds to the antigen and degranulates causing urticaria athsma

What is a disease relating to type 1 hypersensetivity

Feline allergic bronchitis


What is PIE

Small group of diseases where there are eosinophils in the airways

What is type 3 hypersensetivity

Immune complex deposition


Degranulation and vasculitis

What is associated with type 3 hypersensetivity

Bovine farmers lung - thermactinomyces, micrpolyspora spores


Diffuse fibrosing alveolitis


Proliferative end phase Fibrosis


of many diseases - now falling out of favour

What causes this and what is it

What causes this and what is it

Heave line caused by COPD


Type 3 hypersensetivity to environmental allergens

BAL showing eosinophils characteristic of COPD

What causes this?

What causes this?

Persistant right aortic arch

Aspiration pneumonia due to inhalation of food sue to PRAA - gangrenous necrotising pneumonia

Lipid accumulation in pulmonary macrophages - multifocal white nodules (surfactant is the lipid or can be exogenous)


Intersititial thickening
