We collected 24 brown rats, Rattus norvegicus, in Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan and found one rat harboring a dioctophymatid nematode. A single male and a female worm were recovered from the abdominal cavity and were identified as Dioctophyme renale based on morphologic features and a BLAST DNA sequence analysis. We describe the morphological features of the adult worms and eggs from this extremely rare case of D. renale infection in a brown rat.
我们在日本神奈川县收集了24只褐家鼠(Rattus norvegicus),发现其中一只鼠体内寄生着一条膨结线虫。从腹腔中取出了一雄一雌两条虫,根据形态学特征和BLAST DNA序列分析,将其鉴定为肾膨结线虫(Dioctophyme renale)。我们描述了这只褐家鼠感染肾膨结线虫这一极其罕见病例中成虫和虫卵的形态学特征。
