We describe a case of microscopic liver lesion caused by larval cestode in a frugivorous bat (Molossus molossus) from the Western Brazilian Amazon. Histopathological analysis of liver indicated the occurrence of metacestode associated with multifocal histiocytic response and the phylogenetic analysis of Cox-I and 18S rDNA genes indicated that the parasite belonged to the family Paruterinidae. This is the first identification of cestodes of the family Paruterinidae in bats and may suggest a broad range of paruterinid tapeworm hosts to be investigated in the Brazilian Amazon.
我们描述了一例来自巴西西部亚马逊地区的食果蝙蝠(皱唇犬吻蝠)体内由幼虫绦虫引起的肝脏微小病变。肝脏的组织病理学分析表明存在与多灶性组织细胞反应相关的中绦期幼虫,对细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(Cox-I)和18S核糖体DNA(rDNA)基因的系统发育分析表明,该寄生虫属于副子宫科。这是首次在蝙蝠中鉴定出副子宫科绦虫,这可能意味着巴西亚马逊地区有待研究的副子宫科绦虫宿主范围广泛。
