Paratanaisia spp. was recorded from the right kidney of a cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) in Kafr Elsheikh governorate, Nile Delta, Egypt. The bird showed marked emaciation and dissipation. Necropsy findings revealed marked enlargement and brownish discoloration of the kidney. Microscopic examination demonstrated marked dilatation of renal tubules with hyperplasia of lining epithelium due to presence of a trematode consistent with Paratanaisia spp. Eggs of this parasite were also noticed deeply within the interstitial tissue, surrounded with mononuclear cell infiltration, thus indicating their pathogenic potential. This result is the first report of trematodes of this genus parasitizing the kidneys of cattle egrets.
在埃及尼罗河三角洲卡夫尔谢赫省的一只牛背鹭（Bubulcus ibis）的右肾中发现了副塔奈吸虫属（Paratanaisia spp.）。这只鸟表现出明显的消瘦和憔悴。尸检结果显示肾脏明显肿大且呈褐色变色。显微镜检查表明，由于存在与副塔奈吸虫属一致的吸虫，肾小管明显扩张，衬里上皮细胞增生。在间质组织深处也发现了这种寄生虫的卵，周围有单核细胞浸润，从而表明了它们的致病潜力。这一结果是该属吸虫寄生于牛背鹭肾脏的首次报道。
