ABSTRACT:
Methods for the diagnosis and the treatment of Cryptostrongylus pulmoni, a heretofore unrecognized microscopic roundworm, are described. The roundworm's unique life cycle prevents diagnosis by traditional stool analysis methods. The methods for diagnosis and treatment entail the administration of an aerosolized formulation of an anthelmintic agent. Additionally, the invention describes a new composition of thiabendazole, a known anthelmintic agent, for aerosolized administration that can be used for diagnosing and treating the infection caused by the roundworm.
