Abstract
A retrospective study was designed to obtain epidemiological information and describe the main histological alterations of Aelurostrongylus abstrusus induced pneumonia in cats submitted for routine necropsy during 1987-1996 at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), Santa Maria, Brazil. Prevalence varied from 5.9 to 25%, sexual predominance was not observed, infestation was more predominant in younger than in older cats, and only domestic short hair cats were diagnosed positive for A. abstrusus. Granulomatous pneumonia and hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the smooth muscles of pulmonary arteries and parenchyma were the predominant histological lesions observed, and occurred more frequently in cats that were less than 4 years old. The pathogenesis of the histological alterations is also described.

Um estudo retrospectivo foi realizado para obter-se dados epidemiológicos e descrever as principais alterações histológicas na pneumonia induzida por Aelurostrongylus abstrusus em gatos submetidos para necropsia de rotina durante 1987-1996 na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), Santa Maria, Brasil. A prevalência variou entre 5,9 a 25%, predominância sexual não foi observada, a infestação foi predominante em gatos jovens em relação aos velhos e somente gatos sem raça definida foram diagnosticados como positivos para a infestação por A. abstrusus. A pneumonia granulomatosa e a hiperplasia e hipertrofia da musculatura lisa das artérias pulmonares e no parenquima pulmonar foram as alterações histológicas predominantes e ocorreram mais frequentemente em gatos com menos de quatro anos de idade. A patogenia das alterações histológicas também é discutida.
