ABSTRACT
A 3-mo-old male, feral opossum (Didelphis virginiana) was presented to the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine (USA) for evaluation of prolonged dyspnea. The animal died shortly after examination and a necropsy was performed. The cause of death was attributed to a verminous pneumonia, associated with numerous intrabronchial and intrabronchiolar nematodes, subsequently identified as Didelphostrongylus hayesi.
