Spirocerca lupi is a potentially lethal parasitic worm that lives in nodules within the oesophagus of dogs. The worms can survive in these nodules for up to 2 years, laying eggs through a small opening in the nodule which are swallowed and passed out in the faeces. Dung beetles ingest Spirocerca eggs present in the faeces and the immature larvae hatch inside
the dung beetle. Dogs are infected when they eat the infected dung beetles. The dung beetles usually associated with Spirocerca infections are only approximately 6 mm in length and are not the large, conspicuous dung beetles we are familiar with.

Symptoms of spirocercosis are non-specific and are caused by the migration of larvae through the body as well as the space-occupying nodules in the oesophagus. Symptoms include retching, vomiting, weight loss and difficulty in swallowing. The oesophageal nodules often become cancerous in the late stages of the disease. In rare instances, abnormal migration of Spirocerca lupi to the spinal cord can result in lameness or neurological disorders. Thickening of the forelimb bones has also been documented in the late, cancerous stages of the disease.

Sudden deaths may occur and are associated with rupture of the aortic aneurysms caused by the young adult worms. Since the damage to the aortic wall is permanent, rupture of an aneurysm may still occur even after the worms have been eradicated from the body, although this is fairly rare.

Spirocerca lupi is often called the โ€œsilent killerโ€ as sudden deaths may occur with no outward signs of ill health.

Treatment is often difficult and complex. Treatment is aimed at killing the migrating, immature phases of the parasite as well as the adult worms living inside the oesophageal nodules. Examples of the products that work best is Milpro (Virbac) and Simparica-Trio (Zoetis).

Unfortunately there is no treatment for aortic aneurysms or cancerous nodules, which usually spread very quickly to the lungs. Prevention is definitely the key.
