The article presents five fatal cases of the rising canine Angiostrongylosis vasorum in northern Europe and West Midlands, England. It provides a comprehensive discussion of the five cases of A vasorum infections on neutered and spayed dogs. It mentions that A vasorum was identified through morphological features and size of the parasites after performing postmortem examinations on the dogs. It adds that clinicians should be aware of the epidemic in order to avoid late diagnosis and treatment.
