“…However, Eurytrema can relate to a decrease in the productive performance of infected animals, including weight loss, reduced meat production, and eventual death, but mortality is no more than 3% in affected beef herds (Graydon et al, 1992;Ilha et al, 2005). Some reports have indicated that Eurytrema can also accidentally infect humans through dietary habits (Zhang and Li, 1964;Ishii et al, 1983;Li and Lu, 2011).…”

“…is a fluke that parasitizes the pancreatic ducts and rarely the bile ducts of cattle, buffaloes, camels, sheep, and goats (BASCH, 1966;SOULSBY, 1982;ISHII et al, 1983;MATTOS JUNIOR;VIANNA, 1987). Parasitism frequently results in epithelial hyperplasia, hypertrophy of pancreatic ducts, and periductal fibrosis that lead to eurytrematosis (TANG, 1950;MATTOS JUNIOR;VIANNA, 1987;HEADLEY et al, 2009).…”

This study investigated the occurrence of Eurytrema spp. in cattle by analysis of the partial 18S rRNA gene sequence. Trematodes from 44 bovine pancreas were collected and classified based on typical morphological features. PCR assay and sequence analyses of amplified products confirmed that the trematodes classified as Eurytrema coelomaticum were phylogenetically distinct from those identified as E. pancreaticum. The results of this study represent the first molecular characterization of E. coelomaticum within the Americas, and provide an efficient method to differentiate digenean trematodes of domestic animals.Keywords: Bovine trematode, Eurytrema spp., PCR, phylogeny. ResumoEste estudo avaliou a ocorrência de Eurytrema spp. em bovinos por meio da análise da sequência parcial do gene 18S rRNA. Trematódeos procedentes de 44 pâncreas bovinos foram coletados e classificados com base em aspectos morfológicos típicos. A técnica de PCR e a análise da sequência de nucleotídeos dos produtos amplificados confirmaram que os trematódeos classificados como Eurytrema coelomaticum eram filogeneticamente distintos daqueles identificados como E. pancreaticum. Os resultados deste estudo representam a primeira caracterização molecular de E. coelomaticum nas Américas e disponibiliza um método eficiente para diferenciar trematódeos digenéticos em animais domésticos.Palavras-chave: Trematoda bovino, Eurytrema spp., PCR, filogenia.

“…In Korea, human infections by this fluke were reported by detecting eggs in stool examinations [31,32]. Adult worms were found at a human autopsy case in Japan [33]. The specimens from this human were about 10.5 mm in length and 6 mm in width, having the oral sucker (2.0 mm in diameter) larger than the ventral sucker (1.5 mm in diameter) and characteristic dark brown eggs (av.…”

Trematodes Recovered in the Small Intestine of Stray Cats in the Republic of Korea

In 2005, we reported the infection status of 438 stray cats with various species of intestinal helminths, including nematodes (4 species), trematodes (23 species), and cestodes (5 species) in the Republic of Korea. However, morphologic details of each helminth species have not been provided. In the present study, we intended to describe morphologic details of 13 trematode species which were either new fauna of cats (10 species) or new fauna of not only cats but also all animal hosts (3 species). The worms were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin under a cover slip pressure, stained with Semichon's acetocarmine, and then observed using a light microscope equipped with a micrometer. The 13 subjected species included members of the Heterophyidae (Stellantchasmus falcatus, Stictodora fuscata, Stictodora lari, Centrocestus armatus, Procerovum varium, and Cryptocotyle concava), Echinostomatidae (Echinostoma hortense, Echinostoma revolutum, Echinochasmus japonicus, and Stephanoprora sp.), Diplostomidae (Neodiplostomum seoulense), Plagiorchiidae (Plagiorchis muris), and Dicrocoeliidae (Eurytrema pancreaticum). By the present study, Cryptocotyle sp. and Neodiplostomum sp. recored in our previous study were identified as C. concava and N. seoulense, respectively. Three species, P. varium, C. concava, and Stephanoprora sp., are new trematode fauna in Korea.
