“…In Brazil, reports of domestic canids naturally infected by A. vasorum have been made by Gonçalves (1961) in Rio Grande do Sul, Langenegger et al (1962) in Rio de Janeiro, Giovanonni et al (1985) in Paraná and Lima et al (1985) in Minas Gerais. In wild Brazilian canids, this nematode has been reported parasitizing the lungs of Dusicyon vetulus (Lund, 1842) in Minas Gerais (Lima et al, 1994) and the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries of Cerdocyon thous Linnaeus, 1766, in Rio de Janeiro (Travassos, 1927).…”

“…(Fig.1) Active L1 A. abstrusus were recovered from the BALF of three infected cats from 60 to 120 DPI, which could be related to the amount of larvae passing from the lungs to the gut in this period (Fig.2). The specimens measured from 270 to 330 mm in length and 17 to 19 mm in width and had a characteristic cephalic button and tail undulation with a dorsal notch (Lima et al 1985).…”

Pesq. Vet. Bras. 34(10):990-995, outubro 2014 990 RESUMO.-[Lavado broncoalveolar como ferramenta para avaliação de alterações celulares durante a infecção por Aelurostrongylus abstrusus em gatos.] O lavado broncoalveolar (LBA) é um procedimento que permite a recuperação de células e outros elementos pulmonares para avaliação, auxiliando no diagnóstico de doenças pulmonares. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar este procedimento para avaliação das células presentes no fluido broncoalveolar na infecção experimental por Aelurostrongylus abstrusus em gatos. Quatorze animais foram individualmente inoculados com 800 larvas de terceiro estádio de A. abstrusus, enquanto cinco animais não infectados foram mantidos como grupo controle. O LBA foi realizado com uso de um tubo endotraqueal em todos os 19 animais com média de idade de 18 meses, nos dias nos dias 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 e 270 após infecção. A contagem absoluta de células dos animais infectados revelou que macrófagos alveolares e eosinófilos constituíram os tipos celulares predominantes durante todo o período de infecção. Os resultados deste trabalho demonstram que a técnica permite recuperar células e larvas de primeiro estádio de A. abstrusus, fornecendo informações importantes sobre o processo inflamatório causado na aelurostrongilose.

E-mail: joziana@dmv.ufla.br Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a procedure that retrieves cells and other elements from the lungs for evaluation, which helps in the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. The aim of this study was to perform this procedure for cellular analysis of BAL fluid alterations during experimental infection with Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats. Fourteen cats were individually inoculated with 800 third stage larvae of A. abstrusus and five non-infected cats lined as a control group. The BAL procedure was performed through the use of an endotracheal tube on the nineteen cats with a mean age of 18 months, on 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 270 days after infection. Absolute cell counts in the infected cats revealed that alveolar macrophages and eosinophils were the predominant cells following infection. This study shows that the technique allows us to retrieve cells and first stage larvae what provides information about the inflammatory process caused by aelurostrongylosis.

“…The A. vasorum is widely spread in all continents. The infection is highly prevalent in dogs in the southeast of France, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Uganda (Guilhon & Cens 1973;Dodd 1973;Bwagamoi 1974) with several cases reported in the United States, Canada and Brazil (Lima et al 1985;Lima et al 1994;Edwards, 1995;Duarte et al, 2007). Adult worms of A. vasorum live in the right ventricle of the heart and the pulmonary artery, where sexual reproduction and oviposture take place.…”
