The current study was conducted in the period from September 2012 till September 2013 to study the histological and pathological effects of Toxocara cati in experimental infected rat. the laboratory animals divided to four groups ( three of them groups infected by the parasites of the study and one control) treated by different concentrations ( ,1000,2000) eggs/ ml , the experiment continuous for two months treated by once in one day, the result appear histological changes for some organs of infected animals by eggs / ml these were more effective compared with other groups ,the lung more effective organs was noticed destruction and increasing bronchi thickness and ulceration of lumen tracheal and destruction of B-Nemocytes (Type-2), and noticed histological changes in small intestines is showed hypertrophy and destruction microvillus and columnar cells that lined and obstruction mucosa and sub mucosa layer , while liver is show expanded in central vein of lobules congestion and bloody hemorrhage and polymorphic nucleus infiltration, furthermore heart organ was noticed absent of striation of myocardium and not appear nuclei ,finally pharynx isn t show any changes
