Capillariidae
''Capillariidae'' is a family of parasitic nematodes. All its members are parasites in vertebrates when they are in their adult stage. Taxonomy The family Capillariidae was created by Railliet in 1915. It is accepted in the most recent classifications of the Nematoda,Hodda, M. 2011: Phylum Nematoda Cobb 1932. ''In'': Zhang, Z.-Q. (ed.) 2011: Animal biodiversity: an outline of higher-level classification and survey of taxonomic richness. ''Zootaxa'', 3148: 63–95. (paperback) (online editionPDF/ref> in which it is one of the members of the order Trichocephalida. However, ''Capillaria'' and closely related genera are sometimes included in the family Trichinellidae in other classifications. The taxonomy of the Capillariidae is disputed: according to different classifications, the family includes the single genus ''Capillaria'' or 22 different genera ('' Amphibiocapillaria, Aonchotheca, Baruscapillaria, Calodium, Capillaria, Capillostrongyloides, Crocodylocapillaria, Echino ...

Pearsonema Feliscati
Capillaria feliscati (also known as Pearsonema feliscati, the cat bladder worm is a worm that affects cats, and seldom dogs. Its main final hosts are wild carnivores (foxes, wolves, coyotes, hedgehogs, etc.). It is a urinary tract nematode, though its occurrence is rare. ''C. feliscati'' are small, delicate, yellowish, thread-like worms. Adults are approximately between in length.Bartges, Joe, and David Polzin, eds. Nephrology and urology of small animals. Wiley-Blackwell, 2011. Pathology The parasite can irritate the mucosa of the urinary system (bladder and tract), sometimes with painful urination and incontinence.Conboy, Gary. "Helminth parasites of the canine and feline respiratory tract."Veterinary clinics of north america: small animal practice 39.6 (2009): 1109-1126. They reportedly infect the large intestine but have been found in the urinary bladder of the cat, resulting in feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). In cats with a heavy infection, symptoms can include ...

Nematodes
The nematodes ( or grc-gre, Νηματώδη; la, Nematoda) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes), with plant-parasitic nematodes also known as eelworms. They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a broad range of environments. Less formally, they are categorized as Helminths, but are taxonomically classified along with arthropods, tardigrades and other moulting animals in the clade Ecdysozoa, and unlike flatworms, have tubular digestive systems with openings at both ends. Like tardigrades, they have a reduced number of Hox genes, but their sister phylum Nematomorpha has kept the ancestral protostome Hox genotype, which shows that the reduction has occurred within the nematode phylum. Nematode species can be difficult to distinguish from one another. Consequently, estimates of the number of nematode species described to date vary by author and may change rapidly over time.
