Abstract

A 3-year-old female rabbit housed in 98 Mob Fd Vet Hospital/Farm at Charri, Himachal Pradesh, was found dead without showing any clinical signs. At necropsy, one foetus was recovered from the uterus of the animal. The histopathological examination showed presence of a very large number of ova and larvae of Protostrongylus sp. in the alveolar spaces in the lungs. Severe verminous pneumonia, a condition which is rarely reported in farm/domestic rabbit, led to the death of the animal.
