The current report describes granulomatous pneumonia due to Spirocerca lupi in 2 free-ranging maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus). Both wolves had multiple, white, 1-1.5 cm in diameter, soft, encapsulated granulomas in the caudal lung lobes, which contained centrally placed parasites on cut sections. Microscopically, there was granulomatous inflammation with numerous intralesional sections of spirurid nematodes. Representative complete adult specimens of nematodes derived from these lesions were submitted for parasitological exam and identified as the spirurid S. lupi. To the authors' knowledge, there have been no published reports of S. lupi in maned wolves.
本报告描述了2只自由放养的鬃狼（Chrysocyon brachyurus）因狼旋尾线虫（Spirocerca lupi）感染而引发的肉芽肿性肺炎。两只狼的尾叶肺脏均有多个直径1 - 1.5厘米的白色、柔软、有包膜的肉芽肿，在切片上可见中央有寄生虫。显微镜下可见肉芽肿性炎症，并有大量旋尾线虫的虫体切片。从这些病变中获取的代表性完整成虫标本被送去进行寄生虫学检查，鉴定为旋尾科的狼旋尾线虫。据作者所知，此前尚无关于鬃狼感染狼旋尾线虫的报道。
