Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Neue Arbeiten zum Lungenwurmbefall bei Hunden signalisieren, dass sich das Infektionsrisiko für Hunde in Deutschland in den letzten Jahren möglicherweise erhöht hat. Auswertungen von Kotuntersuchungen zeigen außerdem, dass Angiostrongylus vasorum, Crenosoma vulpis und Eucoleus aerophilus bei Hunden in Deutschland endemisiert sind. Von insgesamt 223 mit A. vasorum infizierten Hunden waren 102 in Baden-Württemberg beheimatet, 65 in Nordrhein-Westfalen, 27 im Saarland, 15 in Bayern, 7 in Rheinland-Pfalz, 5 in Hessen und 2 in Brandenburg. Von 170 C.-vulpis-positiven Hunden lebten 54 in Nordrhein-Westfalen, 40 in Baden-Württemberg, 30 in Bayern, jeweils 17 in Rheinland-Pfalz und im Saarland, 9 in Hessen und jeweils 1 Hund in Niedersachen, Berlin und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Ein Befall mit E. aerophilus wurde bei 83 Hunden festgestellt, von denen 23 aus Baden-Württemberg, 20 aus Nordrhein-Westfalen, 17 aus Bayern, 11 aus Rheinland-Pfalz, 7 aus Hessen, 4 aus dem Saarland und 1 Hund aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern stammten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Infektionen mit Lungenwürmern bei Hunden in vielen Gebieten in Deutschland etabliert sind. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit sollen die wesentlichen Fakten der Erkrankung zusammengestellt und ein Überblick über Vorkommen und Verbreitung, zur Klinik, Diagnose und Therapie der Lungenwurminfektionen beim Hund gegeben werden.

Summary

Recent studies have shown that the risk of lungworm infection may have increased in dogs in Germany in recent years. Analysis of the fecal examination of dogs has shown that Angiostrongylus vasorum, Crenosoma vulpis and Eucoleus aerophilus are endemic in Germany. Infections with A. vasorum were diagnosed in 223 of the examined dogs. A total of 102 A. vasorum-positive dogs were located in Baden-Wuerttemberg, 65 in North Rhine-Westphalia, 27 in Saarland, 15 in Bavaria, 7 in Rhineland-Palatinate, 5 in Hessen and 2 in Brandenburg. A total of 170 dogs were infected with C. vulpis, 54 of which came from North Rhine-Westphalia, 40 from Baden-Wuerttemberg, 30 from Bavaria, 17 from Rhineland-Palatinate, 17 from Saarland, 9 from Hessen and 1 each from Lower Saxony, Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Infections with E. aerophilus were detected in 83 dogs, of which 23 lived in Baden-Wuerttemberg, 20 in North Rhine-Westphalia, 17 in Bavaria, 11 in Rhineland-Palatinate, 7 in Hessen, 4 in Saarl-and and 1 in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Lungworm infections in dogs appear to be well established in Germany. The aim of the study presented was to assess the main facts, occurrence, geographical distribution, clinical signs, diagnosis and therapy of lungworm infections in dogs.
