Abstract

Background

Platynosomiasis in non-human primates kept under human care causes chronic disease of the bile ducts and liver, which initially presents with nonspecific signs and can culminate in the death of the animal. Diagnosing this disease is a challenge, and an ultrasound examination can be an excellent tool when it is suspected.

Methods

This study describes the ultrasound findings from 57 marmosets with suspected infection by Platynosomum sp., the correlated hepatobiliary changes, and the anatomopathological findings that confirmed the occurrence of platynosomiasis.

Results

In six marmosets (one C. aurita, two C. jacchus, and three Callithrix sp.), Platynosomum infection was confirmed macroscopically (presence of adult trematodes in the gallbladder) and microscopically (adults, larvae, and eggs in histological examinations and eggs in bile and feces). These findings were compatible with the hepatobiliary changes and with images suggestive of parasitic structures in ante-mortem assessments.

Conclusion

Ultrasound examination demonstrated its usefulness within the clinical routine for investigating this parasitosis.

超声波检查对诊断板吸虫病的贡献，以及与人类饲养的茧毛虫宏观和显微镜检查结果的相关性。

背景：在人类看护下饲养的非人灵长类动物患上板吸虫病会导致胆管和肝脏慢性疾病，最初表现为非特异性症状，最终可能导致动物死亡。诊断这种疾病是一项挑战，而超声波检查则是怀疑这种疾病时的极佳工具：本研究描述了 57 只疑似感染板吸虫的狨猴的超声波检查结果、相关的肝胆变化以及证实发生板吸虫病的解剖病理结果：结果：在六只狨猴（一只 C. aurita、两只 C. jacchus 和三只 Callithrix sp.）中，经宏观（胆囊中存在成虫）和微观（组织学检查中的成虫、幼虫和虫卵以及胆汁和粪便中的虫卵）证实感染了板吸虫。这些发现与肝胆变化以及死前评估中提示寄生虫结构的图像相符：结论：超声波检查证明了其在临床常规检查中的实用性。
