“…Two helminths recorded here are of medical and veterinary importance. H. diminuta can cause sporadic zoonotic infections in human following accidental ingestion of invertebrate intermediate hosts (Tena et al 1998, Marangi et al 2003, Craig and Ito 2007, and T. taeniaeformis is a cestode parasite of cats.…”

The helminths of two sympatric species of rodents, the striped field mouse Apodemus agrarius and the yellow-necked mouse, Apodemus flavicollis from Slovakia were studied to determine whether there are similarities in the composition of the helminth fauna of two closely related host species living in the same area. A total of twelve species of helminths were identified in these rodent populations, including Brachylaima sp. (Trematoda); Hymenolepis diminuta (Rudolphi, 1819), Mesocestoides sp. larvae, Rodentolepis fraterna (Stiles, 1906), Rodentolepis straminea (Goeze, 1782), Skrjabinotaenia lobata (Baer, 1925), Taenia taeniaeformis larvae (Batsch, 1786) (Cestoda); Aonchotheca annulosa (Dujardin, 1845), Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Dujardin, 1845), Heterakis spumosa Schneider, 1866, Mastophorus muris (Gmelin, 1790) and Syphacia stroma (Linstow, 1884) (Nematoda). In A. agrarius, H. polygyrus was the most prevalent, as well as the most abundant helminth, but R. fraterna was the species with the highest mean intensity. In contrast, S. stroma dominated the A. flavicollis helminth fauna with the highest prevalence, mean abundance and mean intensity. Both rodent populations harboured nine helminth species, although the mean individual species richness was significantly higher in A. agrarius than in A. flavicollis. The analysis of helminth diversity at both component and infracommunity levels revealed differences between the two rodent populations, which are most likely attributable to the specific host ecology.

465Parasitología Introducción a dipilidiasis es una zoonosis parasitaria producida por Dipylidium caninum, gusano aplanado en sentido dorsoventral, de la familia Dilepidiidae, orden Cyclophyllidea, Subclase Eucestoda. Es un cestodo común en cánidos y félidos domésticos y silvestres, quienes son sus hospederos definitivos.El hombre lo adquiere accidentalmente al ingerir a los hospederos intermediarios infectados, la pulga del perro (Ctenocephalides canis), la pulga del gato (Ctenocephalides felis) y ocasionalmente por la pulga del hombre (Pulex irritans) o el piojo del perro (Trichodectes canis)La infección en el hombre se denomina dipilidiosis, la mayoría de los casos se presentan en lactantes y preescolares, lo que sugiere una mayor exposición a los hospederos intermedios, por el estrecho contacto con las mascotas, que pueden lamer la cara del niño, sus juguetes y utensilios de alimentación. En adultos, en cambio, es poco frecuente 2,3 . Presentamos el caso clínico de un preescolar con dipilidiosis y su posterior discusión. Caso ClínicoPreescolar de 2 años 8 meses de edad, sexo masculino, sano, sin antecedentes mórbidos de importancia, con controles ocasionales con el pediatra en el último Infección por Dipylidium caninum en un preescolar.Presentación del caso y revisión de la literatura Patricia Neira O., Leonor Jofré M. y Nelson Muñoz S.Dipylidium caninum infection in a 2 year old infant: case report and literature review Dipylidiasis is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the dog tapeworm Dipylidium caninum; it affects both feline and canine species and accidentally, humans. In Chile, as well as in other countries, it is an uncommon infection. A case of a 2 year old child from Casablanca, (a city located in the Valparaíso Region), with an infection by D. caninum, is presented. Clinical manifestations are reviewed, as well as epidemiology in domestic and wild animals, cases among the published national literature and its treatment and prevention strategies.

“…Although the pathology of intestinal cestodes is usually minor, if metacestode stages occur in human tissues, pathology and morbidity can be severe. Several species are known to infect humans, with Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), which can cause neurocysticercosis when metacestode stages develop in the brain after infection with eggs; Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm); Hymenolepis nana (dwarf tapeworm); and Diphyllobothrium latum (broad or fish tapeworm) being the most common (399).…”

SUMMARY Over the past few decades, nucleic acid-based methods have been developed for the diagnosis of intestinal parasitic infections. Advantages of nucleic acid-based methods are numerous; typically, these include increased sensitivity and specificity and simpler standardization of diagnostic procedures. DNA samples can also be stored and used for genetic characterization and molecular typing, providing a valuable tool for surveys and surveillance studies. A variety of technologies have been applied, and some specific and general pitfalls and limitations have been identified. This review provides an overview of the multitude of methods that have been reported for the detection of intestinal parasites and offers some guidance in applying these methods in the clinical laboratory and in epidemiological studies.
