Diagnosis of feline lungworm, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, is typically achieved by identifying larvae in feces following concentration through flotation or using the Baermann technique. This work presents observations on the usefulness of an indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay for detection of antibodies to this parasite in the sera of infected cats. Using first-stage larvae of A abstrusus and sera from both experimentally and naturally infected cats, it was determined that the test was fairly sensitive and did not cross-react with serum from an Ancylostoma braziliense (hookworm)-infected cat.
猫肺线虫(隐匿猫圆线虫)的诊断通常是通过漂浮法浓缩粪便或使用贝尔曼氏技术来鉴定其中的幼虫来实现的。本文介绍了关于间接免疫荧光抗体检测法在检测感染猫血清中该寄生虫抗体的实用性的观察结果。使用隐匿猫圆线虫的一期幼虫以及来自实验感染和自然感染猫的血清,确定该检测相当灵敏,且不会与感染巴西钩口线虫(钩虫)的猫的血清发生交叉反应。
