AB  - Bronchopneumonia is one of the important sheep and goat&#146;s disease in Iran that several agents such as bacteria, virus and parasite can be cause it. It seems that lungworms in ruminant have most roles in this disease incidence. The aim of this study was assessment of sheep and goats contamination to lungworms of Tabriz area. In this study initially with referring to Tabriz abattoir were selected rejected and apparently healthy lungs by randomly and then sent to Parasitology Laboratory of Veterinary Faculty. In lab, lungs were opened and contents were isolated. Then with staining of parasites and creating of slides, type of parasite was detected by light microscope. Of 400 collected lungs were infected 46 cases (11.5%) to hydatid cyst, 185 cases (46.2%) to <I>Dictyocaulus filaria</I>, 63 cases (15.6%) to <I>Protostrongylus rufescent</I> and 25 cases (6.2%) to <I>Muellerius capillaries</I>. Also 12 cases (3.7%) of 320 sheep lungs were infected to <I>Linguatula cerata </I>larva. With attention to relatively high contamination rate in Iran, exerting of prevention and treatment measures was recommended.
