(1) Background: is a cosmopolitan tapeworm endemic to the northern hemisphere with an indirect lifecycle. Its definitive hosts are carnivores, and its intermediate hosts are rodents and rabbits. Nonhuman primates in zoos appear to be highly susceptible to cysticercosis. The aim of this study was to confirm the presence and the molecular characterization of cysts isolated from a captive ring-tailed lemur. (2) Methods: Surgery revealed multifocal, transparent saccules containing several thin-walled tapeworm cysticerci. In some of the metacestodes, single or multiple exogenous buds from daughter cysticerci were spotted. A molecular analysis was performed to confirm our morphological examinations, using two protocols to obtain the partial and genes of the sp. (3) Results: On the basis of morphological features and molecular analysis, the cysticerci were identified as metacestodes, and products taken from the PCRs were sequenced. With respect to interpreting the sequencing results of the obtained amplicons, we compared them with data in the GenBank database, proving that, in this case, the causative agent was indeed . (4) Conclusions: The received data can be used to supplement descriptions of this species. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of cysticercosis caused by in a nonhuman primate in Poland.
(1) 背景：是一种分布于北半球的世界性绦虫，具有间接生命周期。其终末宿主为食肉动物，中间宿主为啮齿动物和兔子。动物园中的非人灵长类动物似乎对囊尾蚴病高度易感。本研究的目的是确认从圈养环尾狐猴分离出的囊肿的存在及其分子特征。(2) 方法：手术发现多灶性、透明的囊泡，其中含有多个薄壁绦虫囊尾蚴。在一些中绦期幼虫中，发现了来自子囊尾蚴的单个或多个外生性芽体。进行分子分析以确认我们的形态学检查，使用两种方案获得该种的部分和基因。(3) 结果：根据形态学特征和分子分析，囊尾蚴被鉴定为中绦期幼虫，并对PCR产物进行了测序。关于解释所获得扩增子的测序结果，我们将其与GenBank数据库中的数据进行了比较，证明在这种情况下，病原体确实是。(4) 结论：所获得的数据可用于补充该物种的描述。据我们所知，这是波兰首例由引起的非人灵长类动物囊尾蚴病病例。
