Abstract
Muellerius capillaris infection was recorded in
the free-ranging spotted deer by histopathological
examination of lung samples. Out of ten
samples that were screened, two were positive
for Muellerius capillaris infection. Grossly,
multifocal grey to dark brown nodules were
embedded in the lung parenchyma. Histopathological
examination revealed severe interstitial
pneumonia with numerous Muellerius eggs,
cross section of rst stage larvae and adult
worms in the alveoli, interstitium and bronchiole.
Based on the gross and histopathological
examination, Muellerius capillaris infection in
the free-ranging spotted deer was con rmed.
