The first report of Aelurostrongylus falciformisin Norwegian badgers (Meles meles)

Abstract The first report of Aelurostrongylus falciformis ( Schlegel 1933 ) in Fennoscandian badgers is described. Routine parasitological examination of nine Norwegian badgers, at the National Veterinary Institute during 2004 and 2005, identified A . falciformis in the terminal airways of five of t...

Brief communication 2006 ftbiomed 2007-11-11T15:30:16Z Abstract The first report of Aelurostrongylus falciformis ( Schlegel 1933 ) in Fennoscandian badgers is described. Routine parasitological examination of nine Norwegian badgers, at the National Veterinary Institute during 2004 and 2005, identified A . falciformis in the terminal airways of five of the animals. The first stage larvae (L1) closely resembled, in size and morphology, those of Angiostrongylus vasorum ( Baillet 1866 ). The diagnosis for both A . falciformis and A . vasorum is frequently based on the identification of L1 in faeces or sputum. The potential for misclassification of an A . falciformis infection as A . vasorum , where larval identification is the only diagnostic method used, is discussed.
