Summary
To kick start the return of the RVC Clinical podcast we speak to Karen Humm, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care here at the RVC. Karen was last heard here when she spoke to Shailen about this disease in number 23 of the podcast, two years ago now.
As with most of the diseases we treat, prevention is far better than cure. There has been a paper published earlier in the year by groups at Bristol and Swansea University (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26830203) that shows the prevalence can change dramatically depending upon your location. What is it like in your area?

| 0:00.0 | Good day. Dominic Barfield here and this is the RVC clinical podcast. There's been a bit of a hiatus since the last rendition. Apologies for that. We hope that you like this reincarnation. Now it's a couple of years since Shailen spoke to Harenham, lecturer in emergency critical care here with me at the RBC about lungworm infection in dogs and thought there was good time to revisit considering we're still |
| 0:20.9 | seeing cases of this treatable disease. This was recorded recently. We hope that you enjoy. |
| 0:26.6 | Thank you for agreeing to speak to me today about Andrew Shonglis. Because your office mate, |
| 0:31.8 | I probably didn't have that much choice right now. No, you didn't have any choice whatsoever. |
| 0:35.5 | But that's that's the way of the world. |
| 0:44.5 | So recently, like, well, when I started my residency, I thought that, which was in 2008, |
| 0:50.3 | NGO Strongless was quite a common referral problem that I think, the thing we saw. And also, there weren't necessarily many good methods to detect and doest |
| 0:55.9 | strongest as well and I believe like just in in the referral population that we see which |
| 1:03.6 | I know is skewed as regards to what what everyone else sees that the number of cases has decreased over time. |
| 1:13.5 | But I think in the last six months or year, I don't know whether you agree that I think the |
| 1:19.2 | case number is increasing again. |
| 1:21.3 | Potentially, yeah. |
| 1:22.6 | So would you mind explaining, please, how Andrew Strongless Fosterum causes a problem in |
| 1:31.1 | dogs, please? And then maybe I'll ask you a couple of questions about that. Okay, so I'd just |
| 1:39.3 | say actually as well that I would totally concur with you. And I think it's really interesting |
| 1:43.4 | that I started my |
| 1:44.8 | residency in 2005 and I remember seeing my first case of angioschondulous and I didn't know what it was |
| 1:51.4 | I'd never even heard of it I it might have been a line or two in my my my parasitology notes but |
| 1:56.9 | it was something I just wasn't taught about. And I graduated in 2001. |
| 2:01.7 | And then, you know, there's this massive explosion of Andrew Strungan. |
| 2:04.7 | And I think it caused, as you say, a large number of referrals |
| 2:07.5 | because people just didn't even recognise, didn't know what it was. |
