Eggs of Eucoleus boehmi were recovered from the faeces of greyhounds from three breeding farms and four racetrack kennels and from those of four greyhounds submitted for necropsy. Diagnosis was dependent on differentiation of the eggs of E. boehmi, E. aerophilus and Trichuris vulpis. Quantitative fecal examinations conducted weekly for 24 weeks in one greyhound suggested that the egg shedding pattern of E. boehmi is cyclical. Nasal swabs failed to reveal eggs of E. boehmi, but nasal washings gave positive results. Because of its small size (15-40 mm) its location within the epithelial lining of the nasal mucosa, turbinates, and sinuses, and difficulty in differentiating the bipolar plugged eggs, E. boehmi probably occurs more often than is currently diagnosed.
从三个繁殖场和四个赛道犬舍的灵缇犬粪便中，以及从四只送检尸检的灵缇犬粪便中发现了波氏真圆线虫的虫卵。诊断取决于波氏真圆线虫、嗜气真圆线虫和狐毛首线虫虫卵的鉴别。对一只灵缇犬进行了为期24周的每周一次定量粪便检查，结果表明波氏真圆线虫的排卵模式是周期性的。鼻拭子未发现波氏真圆线虫的虫卵，但鼻腔冲洗结果呈阳性。由于其体积小（15 - 40毫米），位于鼻黏膜、鼻甲和鼻窦的上皮内衬内，且难以鉴别双极堵塞的虫卵，波氏真圆线虫的实际发生率可能比目前诊断的要高。
