The first case of Capillaria hepatica in the dog in South Africa is described. The main gross and histopathological changes are described . The relationship between the Capillaria infection and the vascular changes are discussed. The opinion is expressed that the disintegrating worms were responsible for an allergic state in the body, leading to generalised calcification of the intima of the blood vessels.en© 1960 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). © 2016 University of Pretoria.
