Calodium hepaticum (Bancroft, 1893) Moravec, 1982 (Syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a zoonotic nematode that causes hepatic capillariosis, an uncommon zoonotic infection. The nematode is globally distributed and parasitizes the liver of mammals, mainly Muroidea. Cricetulus migratorius Pallas, 1773 (Cricetinae) was rarely reported as a host for C. hepaticum. In Turkey, C. hepaticum was recorded in three rodent species; Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus, and Apodemus flavicollis. In this study, C. migratorius (grey dwarf hamster) has been identified as a new host species for C. hepaticum in Turkey. The parasite was identified by morphological, histological, and molecular methods and the phylogenetic relationships of C. hepaticum collected from different hosts were revealed. This is the first molecular characterization of C. hepaticum from a grey dwarf hamster.
肝毛细线虫（Bancroft，1893）Moravec，1982（同 Capillaria hepatica）是一种引起肝毛细线虫病的人畜共患的线虫，这是一种罕见的人畜共患感染。该线虫在全球范围内分布，并寄生在哺乳动物的肝脏中，主要是鼠科。黑线姬鼠 Pallas，1773（Cricetinae）很少被报道为肝毛细线虫的宿主。在土耳其，肝毛细线虫记录于三种啮齿动物物种中：褐家鼠、挪威鼠和黑线姬鼠。在这项研究中，黑线姬鼠（灰色矮仓鼠）被确定为土耳其肝毛细线虫的新宿主物种。通过形态学、组织学和分子方法对寄生虫进行了鉴定，并揭示了从不同宿主中收集到的肝毛细线虫的系统发育关系。这是首次对来自灰色矮仓鼠的肝毛细线虫进行分子特征描述。
