This studies was carried out to investigate a process of formation for the granulomatous lesions in the liver and the haematological variation with the lapse of time after infection of Capillaria hepatica in dogs. Twelve crossbred puppies, about 3 months of age and 2-3 kg of body weight, were administered with 2,000 Capillaria hepatica infective eggs. Every four puppies was sacrificed on 1 week, 3 weeks and 5 weeks after infection, respectively. Although no marked clinical sign was noticed, total leukocyte values were increased peak on 1 week, and then reduced gradually on 3 weeks and 5 weeks after infection. Absolute differential counts of neutrophils and lymphocytes were significantly increased on 1, 3 and 5 weeks after infection. Absolute differential counts of monocytes and eosinophils were trend to increase during the experimental periods. On grossly findings, liver congestions were observed in all infected puppies, and a few white specks were scattered under liver capsule in one puppy on 3 weeks and two puppies on 5 weeks after infection. On microscopic findings, many fresh larvae were observed in the liver tissues in one puppy on 1 week after infection. A worm was decayed and only a portion of cuticle was shown in one puppy on 3 weeks after infection. Around the central necrotic material, the layers of thick macrophages with a few giant cells and lymphocytes with fibrous connective tissues were consisted the granulomatous lesions on 5 weeks after infection.
