Pearsonema (syn. Capillaria) plica is a nematode that resides in the urinary bladder of canids, felids and mustelids (definitive hosts) and is classified in the same class as Trichuris spp. Epidemiological and clinical data on Pearsonema plica infection in domestic animals are limited. The nematode has an indirect lifecycle that involves earthworms as intermediate hosts. A six-year-old crossbred dog from Greece, presented a history of intermittent pollakiuria and hematuria. At urine analysis, P. plica eggs were found in the urine sediment. The dog was successfully treated with a double dose of milbemycin. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of urinary capillariasis diagnosed in a domestic animal in Greece.
皮尔逊线虫（同Capillaria）褶是一种存在于犬科、猫科和鼬科动物（终末宿主）的膀胱中的线虫，与 Trichuris spp 同属一类。有关宠物中皮尔逊线虫感染的流行病学和临床数据有限。该线虫具有间接生命周期，涉及蚯蚓作为中间宿主。一只来自希腊的六岁混血犬，间歇性多尿和血尿。尿液分析时，在尿沉渣中发现皮尔逊线虫卵。这只狗成功地接受了双剂量米尔贝肟治疗。据我们所知，这是希腊首例在宠物中诊断出的泌尿道 capillaryriasis 病例。
