LUNGWORM

Cattle suffer lungworm infestations with Dictyocaulus viviparus. Infective larvae on pasture are ingested and then migrate from gut to lung, where the adult population resides. Adults produce larvae, which are passed out in faeces (when coughed up and swallowed).

Larvae develop into adults in the larger air spaces in the lungs. The time from infection to the presence of adult, egg-laying worms in the airways is around 3 to 4 weeks

Larvae penetrate the intestine wall and migrate to IN THE COW The lungworm eggs hatch in the lungs in the blood the lungs. Thousands of microscopic larvae may be coughed up and swallowed Young cattle eat by the animal contaminated grass

Immature larvae move The final-stage infective through the gut, passing out larvae are spread widely in the dung onto pasture, onto the pasture, largely by Lungworm larvae Lungworm larvae ON THE where they develop and the action of a fungus which can stimulate an penetrate the become infective immune reaction intestine to travel grows in dung pats PASTURE in a few days when they penetrate to the lungs via the intestine and are the blood stream killed by injectable or pour-on wormers

Disease (commonly called husk) is classically seen in young stock from July to October, approximately 4 months after turnout to pasture, although disease may not be noted until the cattle are housed. Early clinical signs include an increased respiratory rate at rest, but more noticeably, frequent coughing, especially after short periods of exercise. In the dairy herd, infection of susceptible cattle results in a dramatic reduction in milk yield of up to 50%, with possible deaths. Frequent coughing is noted when cows are walking to and from the milking parlour. Disease prevention is based upon stimulating the development of immunity, by either vaccination with an attenuated lungworm vaccine, or by ensuring periods of controlled natural exposure/infection through strategic anthelmintic interventions.
