The nematode Calodium hepaticum (syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a zoonotic helminth found mainly infecting rats. It was studied the prevalence of C. hepaticum infection in Rattus norvegicus in an urban area of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), with low urban planning and sanitation. The presence of C. hepaticum was identified through visible yellowish-white lesions in liver tissue and histological analyses. The total prevalence of infection was 45%, with no significant differences between sex and age. The presence of infected rodents near the peridomestic area poses substantial risk to human health.
线虫肝毛细线虫（同义词：肝毛细首线虫）是一种人畜共患的蠕虫，主要感染大鼠。在巴西里约热内卢一个城市规划和卫生条件较差的城区，对褐家鼠中肝毛细线虫的感染率进行了研究。通过肝脏组织中可见的黄白色病变和组织学分析来确定肝毛细线虫的存在。感染的总发生率为45%，在性别和年龄之间没有显著差异。在住宅区附近存在受感染的啮齿动物对人类健康构成重大风险。
