Then they go back to the digestive tract where they mature into L5 worms, and then mate and produce eggs. Coughing will occur with a heavy burden.
- 146Somatic MigrationThe larva migrates to the liver, to the right side of the heart, to the pulmonary artery, to the lungs, to the pulmonary vein, to the left side of the heart, into the general circulation and into the tissues of the body. The larva live here in the tissue, no eggs are produced, they do not mature further, and are no clinical signs in the host. Somatic migration will only continue in an unspayed female. Hormones will cause the larva to move out of the tissue, go to the intestine, mature, or move larva to infect the young during pregnancy.
- 147PrenatallyThe mother already has somatic larva living in the tissue when she becomes pregnant. The larva moves into the circulation across the placenta and targets the lungs and liver of the fetus. When the puppies are born the larva move quickly through the circulation, they undergo tracheal migration when the babies are born.
- 148TransmammaryThe L3 migrate to the milk glands and pass infective larva when the babies are nursing. They undergo trachea migration in the babies or stay in the intestine and mature into L4 and L5, mate and produce eggs.
