(Nematoda, Physalopteridae) from Cerradomys goytaca Tavares, Pessôa & Gonçalves, 2011 (Rodentia, Cricetidae) from Brazil Nicole Brand Ederli1 & Samira Salim Mello Gallo2 & Luana Castro Oliveira2 & Francisco Carlos Rodrigues de Oliveira2 Received: 7 May 2018 /Accepted: 7 June 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Nematodes of the genus Physaloptera are common in rodents, including in species of the Family Cricetidae. There is no report of nematodes parasitizing Cerradomys goytaca, so this is the first one. For this study, 16 rodents were captured in the city of Quissamã, in the northern of Rio de Janeiro State. The rodents were necropsied, and the digestive tracts were analyzed under a stereomicroscope for the presence of parasites. The nematodes were fixed in hot AFA, clarified in Amann’s lactophenol, mounted on slides with coverslip, and observed under an optical microscope. Part of the nematodes was fixed in Karnovisk solution for scanning electron microscopy. Nematodes presented evident sexual dimorphism. Oral openings had two semicircular pseudolabia, with an external lateral tooth and an internal lateral tripartite tooth on each pseudolabium. Males had a ventral spiral curved posterior ends with the presence of a caudal alae with 21 papillae with four pairs of pedunculated papillae arranged laterally, three pre-cloacal sessile papillae arranged rectilinearly and five pairs of post-cloacal sessile papillae. There was also a pair of phasmids located between the fourth and fifth pairs of post-cloacal papillae as well as two spicules that were sub-equal in size but of distinct shapes.

    VETERINARSKI ARHIV 76 (4), 315-321, 2006 Pathological fi ndings on natural infection with Physaloptera praeputialis in cats Soraya Naem*, Amir Abbass Farshid, and Vahid Tanhai Marand Department of Pathobiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Urmia University, Urmia, Iran NAEM, S., A. A. FARSHID, V. T. MARAND: Pathological findings on natural infection with Physaloptera praeputialis in cats. Vet. arhiv 76, 315-321, 2006. ABSTRACT To study the pathological changes in the stomach of cat caused by Physaloptera praeputialis, 22 stray cats were euthanized. At necropsies, seven cats were found to be infected with this nematode. Thickening of the stomach wall, congestion and oedema, along with tiny erosions, were observed in gross pathology. Histopathology observations indicated congestion, oedema, leukocytic infiltration, necrosis, hyperplasia and cystic changes of glands and hyperplasia of muscular coat. These changes were indicative of inflammatory and degenerative reaction brought about by parasitic infection with P. praeputialis and its consequent irritating effects on the stomach. This is the second report of pathological observations of P. praeputialis infection in domestic cats. Key words: pathology, Physaloptera praeputialis, stomach, cat Introduction Physaloptera praeputialis Von Linstow (1889), was described from a domestic cat in Brazil. The adult worms are white or pinkish in colour and tend to live in the stomach with the anterior end embedded in the mucosa. In dog, the adult worms often are present also in the anterior-most portion

  • Parasitic Infections of Man and Animals in Hawaii
    PARASITIC INFECTIONS OF MAN AND ANIMALS IN HAWAII Joseph E. Alicata PARASITIC INFECTIONS OF MAN AND ANIMALS IN HAWAII Joseph E. Alicata HAWAII AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION COLLEGE OF TROPICAL AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII HONOLULU, HAWAII NOVEMBER 1964 TECHNICAL BULLETIN No. 61 FOREWORD Parasites probably were introduced into Hawaii with the first colonization by man perhaps fifteen hundred or more years ago. However, parasitism appears not to have been important or at least not recognized until about 1800 when European and American ships began to call frequently. Since that time, parasites have been found in many species; for instance, in birds, in­ cluding chickens, turkeys, pigeons, pheasants, doves, ducks, sparrows, herons, coots, and quails, and in mammals, including mice, rats, mongooses, rabbits, cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, cattle, horses, and man. There is a certain uniqueness in the compressed history of the infestations paralleling the sweeping spread of virus diseases when introduced into new territories. 'I"he reports of these parasitic diseases have heretofore been 'i\Tidely scat­ tered in the literature, and Professor Alicata's publication now provides an orderly and systematic presentation of the entire field. He considers in sequence the considerable number of diseases reported to be caused in Hawaii by protozoa, the very large number caused by nemathelminthes, and the smaller group caused by platyhelminthes. rrhis publication will furnish basic information for future parasitologists who in turn will be immensely grateful.
