A case of canine <i>Angiostrongylus vasorum</i> in Scotland confirmed by PCR and sequence analysis

Abstract excerpt

This report describes the first recognised case of Angiostrongylus vasorum infection in a native Scottish dog and its diagnostic confirmation using polymerase chain reaction. The use of this technique to definitively diagnose canine angiostrongylosis confirms the presence of this epidemiologically significant case. The implications of the changing distribution of this parasite are discussed.
