During necropsy of a 1.5-year-old female stray cat, a few white and fine nodules were observed on the diaphragmatic lobes of the lung. In histopathological examination, the nodules contained a turned spinosum parasite with cuticular spines and in parasitological examination of digested suspension, nymph of L. serrata with characteristic features was seen. This is the first confirmed infestation in a cat with nymph of L. serrata in Iran.}, keywords = {Linguatulosis,Lung,Cat,Nymph,Iran}, url = {https://ijvr.shirazu.ac.ir/article_2625.html}, eprint = {https://ijvr.shirazu.ac.ir/article_2625_0171665b3f68fb54b1e81e2ff9781c6c.pdf} }
