Canine and feline cardiorespiratory parasites are of utmost relevance in veterinary medicine. Key epizootiological information on major pet metastrongyloids, i.e., and infecting dogs, and and infecting cats, is missing from Austria. This study investigated their occurrence in 1320 gastropods collected in the Austrian provinces of Styria, Burgenland, Lower Austria, and in metropolitan Vienna. Metastrongyloid larvae were microscopically detected in 25 samples, and sequence analysis confirmed the presence of metastrongyloids in nine samples, i.e., in one slug () (0.07%), in five slugs (one and four ) (0.4%), in two (0.17%), and the hedgehog lungworm was detected in one . The present study confirms the enzooticity of major cardiorespiratory nematodes in Austria and that canine and feline populations are at risk of infection.
犬猫心肺寄生虫在兽医学中具有至关重要的意义。奥地利缺少关于主要宠物后圆线虫(即感染犬的 和 ,以及感染猫的 和 )的关键动物流行病学信息。本研究调查了在奥地利施蒂利亚州、布尔根兰州、下奥地利州以及维也纳市收集的1320只腹足纲动物中这些寄生虫的存在情况。通过显微镜在25个样本中检测到了后圆线虫幼虫,序列分析证实9个样本中存在后圆线虫,即1只蛞蝓( )中存在 (0.07%),5只蛞蝓(1只 和4只 )中存在 (0.4%),2只 中存在 (0.17%),并且在1只 中检测到了刺猬肺线虫。本研究证实了奥地利主要心肺线虫的地方流行性,以及犬猫群体存在感染风险。
