摘要: In the past decade, parasitic nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum has attracted attention for its emergence in previously free areas and rise clinical cases domestic dogs. Italy is regarded as one of countries where this potentially life-threatening parasite spreading, especially due to bridging infections between wildlife The present article describes presence A. wolves from Italy. Nematodes were observed histological sections three found dead Rome province, central Morphological molecular identification nematodes, by polymerase chain reaction rDNA ITS-2 sequencing, confirmed nematodes be vasorum, with 99% genetic homology sympatric This second report species first host Italy, coincides increasing records dogs foxes Implications epidemiology emerging health are concisely discussed.
