TL;DR: The data suggest that, in addition to the most common species of filarioids known to infest dogs, Cercopithifilaria sp.

TL;DR: Data presented here indicate that T. brevior and T. subcrenatus may cause major respiratory distress in domestic cats, and these two species should be included, along with A. abstrusus, in the differential diagnosis of cat bronchopulmonary affections and treatment protocols need to be evaluated.

TL;DR: Current information on Troglostrongylus spp.

TL;DR: Eighty-three nematodes collected from the eyes of naturally infected dogs from the Basilicata region (southern Italy) were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy, and the most important features of the nematode were described.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the existence of a Cercopithifilaria species infesting a dog from Sicily and a PCR protocol on skin samples is presented as a tool for further epidemiological studies, which could provide evidence on the aetiology and the natural history of this filarial species.
