ABSTRACT
Angiostrongylus vasorum infection was diagnosed at necropsy of a Greyhound imported from Ireland. Granulomatous masses and pulmonary arterial thrombosis were associated with adult and larval stages of metastrongyle nematodes. Hemorrhages, widespread in subcutaneous tissue and muscle masses and at serosal surfaces, were suggestive of the onset of the bleeding disorder that has been seen in angiostrongylosis in Europe. The mollusks that can serve as intermediate hosts are known to be common in the United States, and therefore establishment of this parasite from imported racing or breeding stock is possible.
