Extract

Larvae of Syngamus trachea pass from the intestine to the lungs of the definitive host via the blood stream. They have been recovered from blood taken from the auricles of the heart and from the posterior vena cava.

The condition of the lungs heavily infected with larvae is described.

A condition of ‘Syngamus pneumonia’ occurs in the wild state among poults of partridges and pheasants.
