New dog parasite??

Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can help me..............Has anyone heard about a new parasite that has been found in dogs this week?
Apparently it was in a local paper this week and one of my family have mentioned it to me.
Thanks

Was it Angiostrongylus vasorum(aka Lung Worm)? If so it's not a new parasite, it's relatively new to the UK, dogs acquire them from slugs & snails
