摘要
摘要 一头两岁大的库内库纳母猪在腹膜炎和败血症后死亡,被送去进行尸体解剖。除了腹膜炎外,还在肠系膜和肝实质中发现了许多充满液体的囊肿,囊肿内有一条约 1 厘米长的元绦虫(囊虫病)。随后进行的分子鉴定证实了体内存在一种非寄生虫的绦虫物种--水蛭(Taenia hydatigena)。据我们所知,以前从未在国une 猪身上发现过由 T. hydatigena 引起的内脏囊尾蚴病。在囊尾蚴病的病例中,疟原虫是一种具有公共卫生重要性的鉴别诊断方法。虽然在美国,疟原虫并不常见,也不流行,但在初步诊断评估时,仍应考虑到它的人畜共患可能性。临床医生应注意在其最终宿主和中间宿主中是否存在水蚤。
Visceral cysticercosis in a Kunekune sow: description and molecular identification of Taenia hydatigena
Summary A 2-year-old Kunekune sow was submitted for necropsy following death after peritonitis and sepsis. In addition to peritonitis, numerous fluid-filled cysts were identified in the mesentery and hepatic parenchyma, which contained an approximately 1 cm metacestode (cysticercosis). Subsequent molecular characterization confirmed the presence of Taenia hydatigena, a non-zoonotic cestode species. To our knowledge, visceral cysticercosis caused by T. hydatigena has not been previously documented in Kunekune pigs. Taenia solium is a differential diagnosis of public health importance in cases of cysticercosis. Although Taenia solium is not commonly reported nor endemic in the United States, its zoonotic potential warrants consideration in the initial diagnostic assessment. Clinicians should be aware of the presence of T. hydatigena in its definitive and intermediate hosts.
期刊介绍:
Helminthologia (HELMIN), published continuously since 1959, is the only journal in Europe that encompasses the individual and collaborative efforts of scientists working on a different topics of human, veterinary and plant helminthology. The journal responsibility is to enrich the theoretical and practical knowledge in very specific areas and thus contribute to the advancements in human and veterinary medicine and agronomy. Taking the advantage of comprehensive and multidisciplinary approaches journal still maintains its original spirit and is principal source of fresh scientific information regarding helminths, endoparasites and plant parasites. Addressing the most up-to date topics journal gained rightful and exceptional place next to the other high-quality scientific journals publishing in its field.
