The bush dog (Speothos venaticus) acts as the natural definitive host in the life cycle of Echinococcus vogeli, the causative agent of polycystic hydatid disease, a zoonotic neglected disease in the South America. We report a case of natural infection by Echinococcus vogeli in a bush dog from the Brazilian Amazon, confirmed by the morphological and morphometric examination of adult parasites and their hooks obtained from the small intestine of the canid. Additionally, mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis corroborated these findings. This is the second report of natural infection by E. vogeli in a bush dog.
丛林犬(Speothos venaticus)是多囊包虫病的病原体多房棘球绦虫(Echinococcus vogeli)生命周期中的自然终末宿主,多囊包虫病是南美洲一种被忽视的人畜共患病。我们报告了一例来自巴西亚马逊地区的丛林犬自然感染多房棘球绦虫的病例,通过对从该犬科动物小肠中获取的成虫及其钩的形态学和形态测量学检查得以证实。此外,线粒体DNA序列分析也证实了这些发现。这是关于丛林犬自然感染多房棘球绦虫的第二例报告。
