Abstract

Background: Dictyocaulosis is a parasitic disease caused by pulmonary nematodes from genus Dictyocaulus affecting various ungulate hosts. It can cause verminous bronchopneumonia and for heavily infected individuals, fatal outcomes can occur.

Case presentation: The study describes the case of a male European bison which died three months after relocation from Slovakia to one of the reintroduction areas in Nucșoara village, Făgăraș Mountains, Romania. Necropsy revealed the presence of pulmonary nematodes in the respiratory tract. Morphology and molecular diagnosis was performed and Dictyocaulus viviparus was identified.

Conclusion: Rigorous health monitoring is essential to assure the success of reintroduction programs, understanding and preventing infectious diseases and limiting their impact on population health.

一例重新引进的欧洲野牛因Dictyocaulus viviparus引起的严重肺炎而死亡的病例。

背景：双钩绦虫病是一种由双钩绦虫属肺线虫引起的寄生虫病，影响各种蹄类动物宿主。该病可引起恶性支气管肺炎，重度感染者可导致死亡：本研究描述了一例雄性欧洲野牛的病例，该野牛在从斯洛伐克迁移到罗马尼亚法格拉山 Nucșoara 村的一个重新引入地区三个月后死亡。解剖发现呼吸道中存在肺线虫。对其进行了形态学和分子诊断，确定了Dictyocaulus viviparus：严格的健康监测对于确保重新引入计划的成功、了解和预防传染病以及限制其对人口健康的影响至关重要。
