Protostrongylus shiozawai is a parasitic nematode that belongs to the family Protostrongylidae. Japanese serows (Capricornis crispus) are the only animals known to be infected with Protostrongylus shiozawai.[1] P. shiozawai is a parasite that targets the bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli of the Japanese serow.
