General Parasitology and Helminthology: Pathogenesis

Pathogenesis

PATHOGENESIS

L4 in the cranial mesenteric artery causes inflammatory reaction lesions like endarteritis and thrombus formation.
Due to thrombus formation, initial thickening and later dilatation of arterial wall may occur.
Sometimes the thrombus detached leads to fatal results like occlusion of coronary artery or brachio cephalic trunk.
Infarction of iliac artery leads to temporary lameness.
Thrombus in the testicular artery results in passive congestion of one or both testicle.
Diarrhoeic syndrom may occur and is associated with ulceration of caecum and colon due to thromboembolism caused by migrating larvae.
