  • FIRST CASE of HUMAN INFECTION by Bertiella Studeri (Blanchard, 1891) Stunkard,1940 (Cestoda; Anoplocephalidae) in BRAZIL
    Rev. Inst. Med. Trop. Sao Paulo 57(5):447-450, September-October, 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0036-46652015000500015 CASE REPORT FIRST CASE OF HUMAN INFECTION BY Bertiella studeri (Blanchard, 1891) Stunkard,1940 (Cestoda; Anoplocephalidae) IN BRAZIL Valeriana Valadares LOPES(1), Hudson Andrade dos SANTOS(2), Amália Verônica Mendes da SILVA(3), Gilberto FONTES(1), Gabriela Lisboa VIEIRA(1), Arilton Carlos FERREIRA(1) & Eduardo Sergio da SILVA(1) SUMMARY Cestodes of the Bertiella genus are parasites of non-human primates found in Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. Species Bertiella studeri and Bertiella mucronata could, accidentally, infect human beings. The infection occurs from ingestion of mites from the Oribatida order containing cysticercoid larvae of the parasite. The objective of this report is to register the first case of human infection by Bertiella studeri in Brazil. Proglottids of the parasite, found in the stool sample of a two-and-a-half-year-old child, were fixed, stained and microscopically observed to evaluate its morphological characteristics. Eggs obtained from the proglottids were also studied. The gravid proglottids examined matched the description of the genus Bertiella. The eggs presented a round shape, with the average diameter of 43.7 µm, clearly showing the typical pyriform apparatus of B. studeri. The authors concluded that the child was infected with Bertiella studeri, based on Stunkard’s (1940) description of the species. This is the fifth case of human Bertiellosis described in Brazil through morphometric analysis of the parasite, the third in Minas Gerais State and the first diagnosed case of Bertiella studeri in Brazil.

    ARTIGO ORIGINAL BERTIELLOSIS IN BRAZILIAN NON-HUMAN PRIMATES: NATURAL INFECTION IN Alouatta guariba clamitans (CABRERA, 1940) (PRIMATES: ATELIDAE) IN SANTA CATARINA STATE, BRAZIL Julio César de Souza Júnior, 1 Juliane Araújo Greinert Goulart, 2 Sandra Varnier, 1 Guillermo Denegri, 3 Hercílio Higino da Silva Filho, 2 Zelinda Maria Braga Hirano 1 e 2 and Fernando Dias de Avila-Pires 4 ABSTRACT The first case of parasitism by Bertiella mucronata (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) in Brazilian non-human primates, Alouatta guariba clamitans (Cabrera 1940) (Primates: Atelidae), from Santa Catarina State, is here reported. Free-ranging monkeys from three different cities of the Itajaí-Açu River Valley region were found to be infected. Prevalence and daily elimination of proglottids in 28 captive howler monkeys are described. We warn about the possibility of human bertiellosis in this region. This information should be utilized in sanitary evaluations of A. clamitans specimes submitted to translocation or reintroduction programs. KEY WORDS: Bertiella mucronata. Alouatta guariba clamitans. Natural environment. Captivity. Zoonotic potential. INTRODUCTION The genus Bertiella (Stiles & Hassal 1902) has high heterogeneity and includes cestodes which are parasites of Marsupialia, Dermoptera, Rodentia and Primates in Africa, Asia, South America and Australia (15). This genus belongs to the family Anoplocephalidae, and comprises heteroxenic parasites that require oribatid mites, important members of the soil fauna with a worldwide distribution, as intermediate hosts.

  • The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of The
    Guo Parasites & Vectors (2016) 9:475 DOI 10.1186/s13071-016-1769-x SHORT REPORT Open Access The complete mitochondrial genome of the tapeworm Cladotaenia vulturi (Cestoda: Paruterinidae): gene arrangement and phylogenetic relationships with other cestodes Aijiang Guo1,2 Abstract Background: Tapeworms Cladotaenia spp. are among the most important wildlife pathogens in birds of prey. The genus Cladotaenia is placed in the family Paruterinidae based on morphological characteristics and hosts. However, limited molecular information is available for studying the phylogenetic position of this genus in relation to other cestodes. Methods: In this study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Cladotaenia vulturi was amplified using “Long-PCR” and then sequenced by primer walking. Sequence annotation and gene identification were performed by comparison with published flatworm mt genomes. The phylogenetic relationships of C. vulturi with other cestode species were established using the concatenated amino acid sequences of 12 protein-coding genes with Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood methods. Results: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Cladotaenia vulturi is 13,411 kb in size and contains 36 genes. The gene arrangement of C. vulturi is identical to those in Anoplocephala spp. (Anoplocephalidae), Hymenolepis spp. (Hymenolepididae) and Dipylidium caninum (Dipylidiidae), but different from that in taeniids owing to the order shift between the tRNA (L1) and tRNA (S2) genes. Phylogenetic analyses based on the amino acid sequences of the concatenated 12 protein-coding genes showed that the species in the Taeniidae form a group and C. vulturi is a sister taxon to the species of the family Taeniidae. Conclusions: To our knowledge, the present study provides the first molecular data to support the early proposal from morphological evidence that the Taeniidae is a sister group to the family Paruterinidae.

    FOLIA PARASITOLOGICA 47: 23-28, 2000 Morphology of Bertiella studeri (Blanchard, 1891) sensu Stunkard (1940) (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) of human origin and a proposal of criteria for the specific diagnosis of bertiellosis María Teresa Galán-Puchades, Màrius Vicent Fuentes and Santiago Mas-Coma Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Valencia, Av. Vicent Andrés Estellés s/n, 46100 Burjassot – Valencia, Spain Key words: Bertiella studeri, morphology, species complex, diagnosis of bertiellosis Abstract. Human material of an African specimen of Bertiella studeri (Blanchard, 1891), a typical intestinal cestode of monkeys, is described. Mature, postmature and gravid proglottides, and eggs, previously inadequately figured, are illustrated and photographed. The description of the species agrees with that provided by Stunkard (1940). A comparative study with other descriptions of the species is made in an attempt to clarify previous findings. The morphological differences reported in various earlier descriptions of the species suggest that B. studeri should be regarded as a “B. studeri species complex”. Improvements are required in the descriptions of new future findings in order to clarify the specific diagnosis of human bertiellosis. Evidence suggests that a generalised diagnosis exclusively based on egg size and geographical distribution is insufficient to differentiate B. studeri and Bertiella mucronata (Meyner, 1895), or additional species may be affecting humans. Human bertiellosis, recently reviewed by Denegri drawings and photomicrographs of the material ana- and Pérez-Serrano (1997), is the intestinal parasitisation lysed.

    Guo Parasites & Vectors (2015) 8:549 DOI 10.1186/s13071-015-1172-z RESEARCH Open Access The complete mitochondrial genome of Anoplocephala perfoliata, the first representative for the family Anoplocephalidae Aijiang Guo1,2 Abstract Background: Mitochondrial (mt) genome sequences are widely used to understand phylogenetic relationships among parasites. However, no complete mt genome sequence is available in the family Anoplocephalidae to date. This study sequenced and annotated the complete mt genome of Anoplocephala perfoliata (Anoplocephalidae), and investigated its phylogenetic relationships with other species from the families Hymenolepididae, Dipylidiidae and Taeniidae of the order Cyclophyllidea using the amino acid sequences of the 12 proteins in their mt genomes. Methods: The complete mt genome of A. perfoliata was amplified by Long-range PCR, sequenced using primer walking and annotated by comparing with those of other cestodes. Its phylogenetic relationship with the species from the families Hymenolepididae, Dipylidiidae and Taeniidae was inferred using the 12 protein sequences based on Maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. Results: ThecompletecircularmtgenomesequenceforA. perfoliata is 14,459 bp in size, and includes 12 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. The mt gene arrangement of A. perfoliata is identical to those of previously reported Hymenolepis diminuta (Hymenolepididae) and Dipylidium caninum (Dipylidiidae), but slightly different from those of other taeniids due to an order switch between tRNA(S2) and tRNA(L1). The phylogenetic analyses showed that the Dipylidiidae was more closely related to Anoplocephalidae and Hymenolepididae than to Taeniidae. The relationship among the four families obtained by Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inferences based on predicted amino acid sequences of protein-coding genes is consistent with that based on their mt gene arrangement similarities.
