Abstract

Dictyocaulosis is a respiratory disease caused by helminths of the genus Dictyocaulus spp., considered a potential cause of decline in the productivity and death of cattle in Brazil and in other countries of the world. This work describes a report of infection by Dictyocaulus viviparus and dictyocaulosis in cattle in the city of Londrina, PR. The association of environmental, nutritional and immunological conditions, along with an inadequate parasitic control favored the development of the disease, emphasizing the importance of the disease as a differential diagnosis of the bovine respiratory diseases in the Southern Region of Brazil.
