A total of 395 coyotes (Canis latrans) was examined in the field for lungworms (Filaroides osleri and Capillaria aerophila) with 60 trachea and bronchial trees returned to the laboratory for detailed examination. Coyote carcasses were obtained from eight central states (Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Texas, and three regions of Kansas). Cysts of F. osleri were present in the trachea or first division of bronchi of 68 (17%) of the coyotes examined. C. aerophila infections were identified during field examinations, primarily by the excess mucus in the bronchi, in 151 (38%) coyotes. Nearly 6% of the coyotes examined were infected with both lungworm species. A total of 195 (49%) coyotes had at least one species of lungworm. Filaroides was less frequent in Iowa and Kansas; Capillaria infections were present in at least 30% of the coyotes examined at all stations.
共对395只郊狼（犬属）进行了野外肺线虫（奥氏丝虫和嗜气毛细线虫）检查，并将60个气管和支气管树带回实验室进行详细检查。郊狼尸体取自八个中部州（俄克拉荷马州、科罗拉多州、怀俄明州、爱荷华州、南达科他州、内布拉斯加州、得克萨斯州以及堪萨斯州的三个地区）。在所检查的郊狼中，68只（17%）的气管或支气管第一分支中存在奥氏丝虫囊肿。在野外检查期间，主要通过支气管中过多的黏液，在151只（38%）郊狼中发现了嗜气毛细线虫感染。近6%的受检郊狼感染了两种肺线虫。共有195只（49%）郊狼感染了至少一种肺线虫。奥氏丝虫在爱荷华州和堪萨斯州较少见；在所有站点检查的郊狼中，至少30%感染了嗜气毛细线虫。
