Abstract
We report molecular identification of an adult Spirometra mansoni tapeworm retrieved from a crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) in Colombia, confirming presence of this parasite in South America. This tapeworm is the causative agent of human sparganosis, commonly reported from Southeast Asia, and represents the second congeneric species with known zoonotic potential in the Americas.
摘要
我们报告了从哥伦比亚的一只食蟹狐（Cerdocyon thous）中取出的曼氏迭宫绦虫的分子鉴定，证实了这种寄生虫在南美洲的存在。这种绦虫是人体裂头蚴病的病原体，通常在东南亚报道，是已知在美洲具有潜在人畜共患性的第二个同属物种。
