Paragonimus kellicotti Ward, 1908 was recovered from 16 of 105 mink (Mustela vison), 14 of 244 striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis), 10 of 446 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), 1 of 31 coyotes (Canis latrans), 0 of 326 raccoons (Procyon lotor) and 0 of 8 weasels (Mustela spp.) collected from southwestern Ontario. The majority of carnivores harboring P. kellicotti was collected from two counties (Huron and Bruce) bordering the east shore of Lake Huron where 6.0% of the animals (excluding raccoons) were infected . There were extensive adhesions between the lungs and parietal pleura and dorsal mediastinal pleura in 25 of 301 raccoons collected from these two counties. This lesion was thought to be associated with a reaction to migrating P. kellicotti. This is the first time P.kellicotti has been reported in the striped skunk and red fox from Ontario and apparently the first record of this parasite in the coyote.
1908年命名的北美肺吸虫（Paragonimus kellicotti Ward）在安大略省西南部采集的105只水貂（Mustela vison）中的16只、244只条纹臭鼬（Mephitis mephitis）中的14只、446只赤狐（Vulpes vulpes）中的10只、31只郊狼（Canis latrans）中的1只、326只浣熊（Procyon lotor）中的0只以及8只鼬属动物（Mustela spp.）中的0只体内被发现。携带北美肺吸虫的大多数食肉动物采自休伦湖东岸附近的两个县（休伦县和布鲁斯县），在那里6.0%的动物（不包括浣熊）受到感染。从这两个县采集的301只浣熊中，有25只的肺与壁层胸膜以及背侧纵隔胸膜之间存在广泛粘连。这种病变被认为与对北美肺吸虫移行的反应有关。这是北美肺吸虫首次在安大略省的条纹臭鼬和赤狐中被报道，显然也是这种寄生虫在郊狼中的首次记录。
