G R Pearson, S Kennedy, S M Taylor

    The Veterinary Record
    |April 3, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hookworm infection, specifically Uncinariasis, caused poor growth in foxhound pups. Examination revealed hookworms (Uncinaria stenocephala) damaging the small intestine, leading to villous atrophy.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Parasitology
    • Canine Health

    Background:

    • Unthriftiness in kennelled foxhound pups is a significant welfare concern.
    • Hookworm infections can lead to gastrointestinal pathology in canids.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the cause of unthriftiness in a group of foxhound pups.
    • To describe the pathological findings associated with hookworm infection in canine small intestines.

    Main Methods:

    • Necropsy was performed on two affected foxhound pups.
    • Histopathological examination of the small intestine was conducted.
    • Scanning electron microscopy was used to visualize the hookworms.

    Main Results:

    • Uncinariasis, caused by Uncinaria stenocephala, was diagnosed.
    • Large numbers of worms were found embedded in the distal small intestine mucosa.
    • Associated pathology included villous blunting and thickening.

    Conclusions:

    • Uncinaria stenocephala infection is a cause of significant intestinal pathology and unthriftiness in young dogs.
    • The study details the gross and microscopic lesions associated with canine uncinariasis.
