Dirofilariaeformia pulmoni sp. n. from the eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis Gmelin) is differentiated from other species of the genus by its smaller body size, shorter spicules, arrangement of caudal papillae, and morphology of microfilariae. Adult filarids were found in the pulmonary artery and its branches, and the microfilariae occurred in the blood. A large antemortem thrombus that occluded approximately two-thirds of the lumen of the artery was associated with infection in one squirrel.
来自东部灰松鼠（Sciurus carolinensis Gmelin）的肺丝虫新种（Dirofilariaeformia pulmoni sp. n.）通过其较小的体型、较短的交合刺、尾乳突的排列以及微丝蚴的形态与该属的其他物种相区分。成虫丝虫见于肺动脉及其分支，微丝蚴见于血液中。在一只松鼠中，一个生前形成的大血栓阻塞了约三分之二的动脉管腔，该血栓与感染有关。
