Further observations on canine spirocercosis in Kenya.
The close association of the parasite Spirocerca lupi with oesophageal sarcomas suggests aetiological involvement of S lupi. Further investigations may yield results of significance with respect to comparative oncology. This paper records detailed observations made over an 11 year period, on the incidence and pathological variations of S lupi infections in Kenya.
