Unusual threadworm case links Newark dog death to mosquitoes
A dog named St. Bertard, owned by Robert Cummings of Mount Prospect Avenue, Newark, died after a threadworm parasite blocked a heart valve. Veterinarians found 27 worms, each tiny, inside the heart. They theorize mosquitoes transmitted the worm eggs to the dog via blood, with development stages: embryo, larva, and mature worm. water exposure is another transmission route. Experts cited by Dr. Glennon and Prof. Manson explain the parasite’s rare occurrence and mosquito-borne infection mechanism.
