Lesions in the liver of guinea-pigs infected with the swine lungworm, Metastrongylus apri
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2024
Abstract
Clear spot lesions were formed on the liver surface in guinea-pigs repeatedly infected with swine lungworm, Metastrongylus apri. The largest lesion, measuring 0.25 cm in diameter, was hard and yellow and showed a large granuloma in the lobule. The nematode larva was located at the centre of the lesion. This finding is likely to be an example of erratic parasitism in guinea-pigs with metastrongylidiasis.
