Diphyllobothrium pacificum (Nybelin, 1931) Margolis, 1956 en Canis familiaris de la ciudad de Chincha, Perú

Possible influence of the ENSO phenomenon on the pathoecology of diphyllobothriasis and anisakiasis in ancient Chinchorro populations

“…After ingestion of the infected fish, some plerocercoids develop into mature adult tapeworms, which will reside in the small intestine of the host (Janicki 1917, Meyer 1970. Sea lions and other carnivorous mammals (such as humans, dogs, cats, bears, otters and the like) are definitive and well characterised hosts of Diphyllobothrium species (Meyer 1970, Cabrera et al 2001.…”

Significant association between intestinal endoparasitism with age and the presence of ectoparasites in Canis familiaris (Linnaeus)

“…Es probable que la infestación se produjo por la alimentación del perro con vísceras crudas de pescado de origen marino, que es una práctica de uso frecuente en la costa del litoral tumbesino. A nivel nacional, existen pocos hallazgos de este tipo de parasitismo en perros, así tenemos que Cabrera et al (2001) reportaron en la ciudad de Chincha (Ica) un espécimen de D. pacificum en una perra adulta y por su parte Guerrero (1962) reportó un caso de difilobotriasis en la ciudad de Lima. De igual forma existen reportes de casos en Argentina (Rivero et al, 2015), Cuba (Portal Veterinario, 2006) y Chile (Torres et al, 1989).…”

Molecular Identification of Adenocephalus pacificus (Cestoda) from Three Human Cases in Lima Province, Peru

“…The adult cestode has as permanent hosts otarids, piscivorous mammals as well as accidentally in man and dog [ 4 , 5 ]. A potential first intermediate host would be the copepods where the procercoids would be present and the second intermediate host are different marine fish species like Sarda chiliensis chiliensis , Sciaena deliciosa , Trachurus picturatus murphyi , Scomber japonicus , or Paralabrax humeralis [ 2 , 6 – 8 ].…”
