LUNGWORMCattle 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).
IN THE COW
ON THEPASTURE
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
The lungworm eggs hatch in the lungs. Thousands of
microscopic larvae may be coughed up and swallowed
by the animal
Immature larvae move through the gut, passing out
in the dung onto pasture, where they develop and
become infective in a few days
Larvae penetrate the intestine wall and migrate to
the lungs in the blood
Young cattle eat contaminated grass
The final-stage infective larvae are spread widely
onto the pasture, largely by the action of a fungus which
grows in dung pats
Lungworm larvae can stimulate an immune reaction
when they penetrate the intestine and are killed by injectable or
pour-on wormers
Lungworm larvae penetrate the
intestine to travel to the lungs via
the blood stream

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.
