| 中文描述 | 貓圓線蟲是最常見引發貓肺蟲症的寄生蟲。嗜氣毛細線蟲也會造成貓的感染，但是多數的病例並不會出現臨床症狀。大部分受感染的貓咪，症狀很輕微，而且在免疫力增強後就會復原。但是很嚴重的感染下，還是會出現症狀。因為圓線蟲的感染途徑必須藉由吃下了帶有寄生蟲的鳥、青蛙、或老鼠，會跑到戶外打獵的動物受感染的風險較高。 |
| 英文描述 | AELUROSTRONGYLUS ABSTRUSUS is the major lungworm of the cat. CAPILLARIA AEROPHILA can affect cats and is subclinical in most cases. Most affected cats show little disease because lesions regress as immunity increases, but severe infections can cause signs. Because a host such as a bird, frog or rodent must be eaten by the cat to transmit ALEUROSTRONGULUS, animals that hunt outdoors are at risk. |
