Mixed pneumoconiosis is a pulmonary disease associated with several inhaled mineral irritants. Dust was found in the alveolar macrophages, alveolar and bronchial walls and pulmonary interstitial tissue of two female coyotes (Canis latrans). The dust contained large amounts of silica, coal, iron and copper particles, which were associated with severe pulmonary disease. Lung injury in the animals was characterized by pulmonary nodules, severe interstitial fibrosis, alveolar hyperplasia and bone formation within alveolar spaces. Coyotes inhaled mineral dust while roaming a field close to three mineral extraction zones. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the concomitant inhalation of multiple minerals in association with diffuse pulmonary ossification in the pulmonary parenchyma of two wild canine animals.
