Order Strongylida
Strongyle-type eggs with a normal thin-shelled
(but Metastrongilida).
Infective stage: L3.
Direct life cycle (but Metastrongilida).
Gastrointestinal parasites (but Metastrongilida, respiratory).
Males: Bursate nematodes.
Females: Amphidelphic// Prodelphic uterus
Superfamily Trichostrongyloidea
Tricostrongílids.
Small to medium-sized gastrointestinal parasites..
Most important nematodes of ruminants.
(Gastroenteritis).
Direct life cycle
➢ Definitive host acquire the infection by ingestion of L3.
➢ Infected host shed eggs in the environment. L1 hatch
from the eggs and develope to L3.
➢ Hypobiosis and Periparturient rise
Tricostrongílids. Most important genera.

Dictyocaulus
Trichostrongylid-like nematode up to 10 cm long.
Inhabiting the lungs of ruminants and horses.
Bronchi and Trachea..
Females release larvated eggs which contain L1.
Life cycle Dictyocaulus spp.
L3 is ingested by a new host
L3 pass from the small intestine to the mesenteric lymph nodes
and moult to L4.
L4 migrate to the lung in lymph and blood vessels.
In the lung, the parasite reaches bronchi and trachea where it
molts into the adult stage.
Females release embryonated eggs and L1 hatch immediately after
egg release.
L1 reaches the trachea and then the pharinx
and is swallowed and shed in the hosts feces
Superfamily Metastrongyloidea.
LUNGWORMS
bronchi and bonchioli parasites
Indirect life cycle.
Intermediate host: Invertebrates,
Earthworms, Mollusc such as snails, slugs)
Infection occurs by eating the IH.

Gènere Metastrongylus
Family Protostrongylidae
Lungworms in small ruminants
(alvèols i bronquíols).
Females are ovoviviparous.
L1 are shed in the feces.
Theses L1 invade snails and slugs and develop into L3.
When IH are ingested by DH , the larvae migrate via mesenterial
lymph nodes to the lungs
VERMINOUS BRONCOPNEUMONIA
Famíly Metastrongyloidea
Gènere Metastrongylus.
Lungworms in pig and wild boar
Infected host shed embryonated eggs.
Intermediate hosts are earthworms.
From the mesenterial lymph npodes and right heart, the
parasitre reaches the lungs..
