Faecal samples of 4151 dogs from Denmark, 958 dogs from Germany and 231 cats from Germany with clinical signs were examined for lungworm larvae using the Baermann funnel technique between 2003 and 2007. In total, 3.6% of Danish and German dogs shed lungworm larvae. In Denmark, patent infections of dogs with Angiostrongylus vasorum were more prevalent (2.2%) than those with Crenosoma vulpis (1.4%). In Denmark, the majority of A. vasorum- (98%) and C. vulpis-infected (80%) dogs originated from Northern Zealand. The frequency of A. vasorum and C. vulpis infections in Danish dogs obviously decreased from 2003 to 2006. In Germany, canine faecal samples were found more frequently positive for C. vulpis than for A. vasorum larvae (2.4% and 1.2%, respectively). Lungworm-infected dogs originated mainly from southern and western Germany. Larvae of Aelurostrongylus abstrusus were detected in 5.6% of cats from Germany. Overall, a distinct seasonal pattern in the detection of infected dogs was apparent for A. vasorum in Denmark and C. vulpis in Germany. The relatively high number of lungworm-infected dogs and cats indicate that these parasitic diseases should be considered in differential diagnosis of cases of treatment-resistant respiratory/cardiopulmonary distress.
2003年至2007年期间，使用贝尔曼漏斗技术对来自丹麦的4151只狗、来自德国的958只狗以及来自德国的231只出现临床症状的猫的粪便样本进行了肺线虫幼虫检测。总体而言，丹麦和德国的狗中有3.6%排出肺线虫幼虫。在丹麦，血管圆线虫感染的犬只（2.2%）比狐杯尾线虫感染的犬只（1.4%）更为普遍。在丹麦，大多数感染血管圆线虫（98%）和狐杯尾线虫（80%）的狗来自西兰岛北部。从2003年到2006年，丹麦犬只中血管圆线虫和狐杯尾线虫感染的频率明显下降。在德国，犬类粪便样本中狐杯尾线虫幼虫的阳性检出率高于血管圆线虫幼虫（分别为2.4%和1.2%）。感染肺线虫的狗主要来自德国南部和西部。在德国5.6%的猫中检测到了隐匿猫圆线虫幼虫。总体而言，丹麦的血管圆线虫感染犬只和德国的狐杯尾线虫感染犬只在检测上呈现出明显的季节性模式。肺线虫感染的狗和猫数量相对较多，这表明在对耐药性呼吸/心肺窘迫病例进行鉴别诊断时应考虑这些寄生虫病。
