The canine intestinal whipworm, <jats:italic>T. vulpis<\/jats:italic>, is the most common and well- known in veterinary practice, whereas the respiratory <jats:italic>C. aerophila<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. boehmi<\/jats:italic> have been rarely reported in pets as a likely consequence of overlapping morphometric and morphological features of the eggs, which impair a correct etiological diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In December 2011, a mixed infestation by <jats:italic>T. vulpis<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. aerophila<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. boehmi<\/jats:italic> was diagnosed in an asymptomatic dog living in central Italy.

Key diagnostic features (i.e., size, wall surface pattern and aspects of plugs) should be carefully examined when eggs with overlapping shape and appearance are detected. In conclusion, given the importance in clinical practice of canine trichuroids and the zoonotic potential of <jats:italic>C. aerophila<\/jats:italic>, these nematodes should be included into the differential diagnosis of intestinal and respiratory parasitoses of dogs by a thorough microscopic analysis of all trichuroid ova present in microscopic fields.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1756-3305-5-128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,9]],"date-time":"2012-08-09T10:14:26Z","timestamp":1344507266000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Mixed trichuroid infestation in a dog from Italy"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Angela","family":"Di Cesare","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Castagna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvana","family":"Meloni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Domenico","family":"Otranto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donato","family":"Traversa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"598_CR1","first-page":"4","volume":"8","author":"D Traversa","year":"2011","unstructured":"Traversa D: Are we paying too much attention to cardio-pulmonary nematodes and neglecting old-fashioned worms like Trichuris vulpis?.
