Pathogenesis caused by ascarid infections in the definitive hosts can be due to the adult stages as well as the larval stages

What is the primary reason for exercise restriction in dogs undergoing heartworm treatment?

Dogs can serve as definitive hosts for Baylisascaris procyonis and can shed eggs of this parasite in their feces

You bring your cat, Bitsy, in for a check-up and a fecal flotation is performed.  An egg, shown below, was observed in the feces.  You note that the egg has a smooth surface and isn’t pitted.  To help you diagnose this parasite, the anterior end of the worm that produced the egg is also shown below. What nematode is it?

A client brings their dog, Tiger, into your clinic after they notice that he had blood in his urine.  You perform a urine sedimentation and find pitted, barrel-shaped eggs in it. Surgery is performed and the worms, depicted below, were found in the right kidney.  What worm is this?

Larva migrans (VLM, OLM, NLM) in humans are caused by all of the following ascarids EXCEPT:

For Dioctophyme renale, the giant kidney worm, select the FALSE statement

A necropsy was performed on a dog who previously had presented at your clinic with a cough, labored breathing, ascites, and exercise intolerance. The following worms were found to be responsible for the observed clinical signs.  What nematodes are they?

According to CAPC, what is the recommended deworming protocol for puppies to prevent Toxocara canis infection?

Toxascaris canis larvae migrate thru the liver and the lungs of the definitive host while the larvae of Toxocara cati do not migrate outside of the small intestine (i.e., GI tract).
