Dogs are infected with<jats:italic>Strongyloides stercoralis<\/jats:italic>while cats are infected with different species according to geographical location (<jats:italic>Strongyloides felis, Strongyloides tumefaciens, Strongyloides planiceps<\/jats:italic>and perhaps<jats:italic>S. stercoralis<\/jats:italic>). In contrast to the other species, lactogenic transmission is not a primary means of infection in dogs, and<jats:italic>S. stercoralis<\/jats:italic>is the only species considered zoonotic.<jats:italic>Strongyloides papillosus<\/jats:italic>in calves has been linked to heavy fatalities under conditions of high stocking density.<jats:italic>Strongyloides westeri<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>Strongyloides ransomi<\/jats:italic>of horses and pigs, respectively, cause only sporadic clinical disease. In conclusion, these infections are generally of low relative importance in livestock and equines, most likely due to extensive use of macrocyclic lactone anthelmintics and\/or improved hygiene. Future prevalence studies need to include molecular typing of<jats:italic>Strongyloides<\/jats:italic>species in relation to different hosts. More research is urgently needed on the potential zoonotic capacity of<jats:italic>Strongyloides<\/jats:italic>from dogs and cats based on molecular typing, information on risk factors and mapping of transmission routes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182016001116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,4]],"date-time":"2016-07-04T10:23:37Z","timestamp":1467627817000},"page":"274-284","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":124,"title":["<i>Strongyloides<\/i>spp. infections of veterinary importance"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"144","author":[{"given":"STIG M.","family":"THAMSBORG","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JENNIFER","family":"KETZIS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"YOICHIRO","family":"HORII","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JACQUELINE B.","family":"MATTHEWS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2008.07.019"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref89","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1645\/0022-3395(2002)088[0536:TTOSSI]2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref50","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-4017(96)00999-5"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1997.211.03.333","article-title":"Overwhelming strongyloidosis in a foal","volume":"211","author":"Brown","year":"1997","journal-title":"Journal of American Veterinary Medicine Association"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref55","first-page":"80","article-title":"Lack of transmammary transmission of Strongyloides stercoralis from a previously hyperinfected bitch to her pups","volume":"62","author":"Mansfield","year":"1995","journal-title":"Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref64","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2013.03.030"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref91","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-0813.1987.tb09682.x"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref78","first-page":"191","article-title":"Experimental studies with Strongyloides papillosus in goats","volume":"66","author":"Pienaar","year":"1999","journal-title":"Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Medicine"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref42","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2010.07.013"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-4017(79)90025-6"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref79","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.1997.56.61"},{"key":"S0031182016001116_ref63","first-page":"355","article-title":"Strongyloides westeri Ihle, 1917 (Nematoda: Strongyloididae.
