Disseminated panarteritis was found in 16 (9 males and 7 females) of 49 laboratory beagle dogs (25 males and 24 females) from one breeding kennel. The dogs had been used in a 6-month oral toxicity study. Panarteritis was not associated with clinical or gross abnormalities. The incidence was similar in the control and test article-treated groups. Mainly medium-sized arteries throughout the body, particularly intercostal arteries (at their aortic origin), and coronary, epididymal and thymic vessels were affected. Chronic mono-nuclear-cell periarteritis was the predominant feature. Mixed cellular inflammation of the wall, proliferation or degeneration of muscle cells, focal “fibrinoid” material in the tunica media, fragmented internal elastic lamina and intimal thickening associated with myointimal cellular proliferation also occurred. These histologic changes are compatible with those of immune arteritis. Round worm intestinal infestation and granulomas of visceral larva migrans were common in several organs. Statistical analyses suggested that the pedigree of dogs is related to panarteritis, but the presence or absence of parasitization alone is not. The possible roles of genetic predilection and/or parasites in the pathogenesis are discussed. This panarteritis is spontaneous and may complicate the interpretation of lesions in toxicity studies.

Los nematodos principalmente Ancylostoma caninum y Ancylostoma braziliense se asocian a una entidad clínica conocida como larva migran cutánea, la cual afecta en general pobladores de las costas, trabajos de riesgo como jardineros agricultores, personas dedicadas al turismo en zonas endémicas y cualquier otra que pueda tener contacto directo con suelos contaminados con las formas infectantes, larva filariforme. Esta al penetrar en la piel, transcurridas unas semanas, se desarrollan surcos serpentiginosos subdérmicos, con clínica muy inespecífica, con presencia de eosinofilia en el hemograma y aumento de la inmunoglobulina E. Las principales herramientas terapéuticas son el tiabendazol, el albendazol y la ivermectina.
