Abstract

Verminous pneumonia due to Parafilaraoides decorus infection is described in a California sea lion (Zaophus californianus). Multiple nodules measuring 1~7mm in diameter occurred throughout the lung. Histologically, lung worms were located in the bronchiolar lumens and alveolar spaces in which numerous inflammatory reactions were induced.
