spp. are etiological zoonotic agents spread throughout the world and affect mammals, birds, and reptiles; they evolve via two cycles: domestic and sylvatic. is a carnivorous nocturnal mammal from the family Mustelidae. In Romania, this host is widespread in all forests of the country. has an extremely voracious appetite, feeding on fruit and also on a variety of small animals, including rodents such as mice and rats. The aim of this study was the identification and molecular characterization of larvae isolated from the muscle tissue of collected in different counties of Romania. The muscle samples were examined via artificial digestion, and the larvae were identified at the species level via multiplex PCR. The presence of larvae belonging to , a species frequently identified in wild carnivores in temperate zones, was observed. Although has been already reported in several host species in Romania, this is the first time this species has been observed in a specimen. This finding contributes to our knowledge about the host species involved in the maintenance of the sylvatic cycle in Romania, and it confirms that this parasite is consistently present in the wild fauna of this country.
某些物种是传播于世界各地的人畜共患病原体，可感染哺乳动物、鸟类和爬行动物；它们通过家养和野生动物两个循环演化。[物种名称1]是一种来自鼬科的肉食性夜行哺乳动物。在罗马尼亚，这种宿主在该国所有森林中都有分布。[物种名称1]食欲极强，以水果以及包括小鼠和大鼠等啮齿动物在内的各种小动物为食。本研究的目的是对从罗马尼亚不同县采集的[物种名称1]肌肉组织中分离出的幼虫进行鉴定和分子特征分析。通过人工消化检查肌肉样本，并通过多重PCR在物种水平上鉴定幼虫。观察到存在属于[物种名称2]的幼虫，这是一种在温带野生食肉动物中经常鉴定出 的物种。尽管[物种名称2]已在罗马尼亚 的几种宿主物种中被报道过，但这是首次在[物种名称1]标本中观察到该物种。这一发现有助于我们了解罗马尼亚参与维持[物种名称2]野生动物循环的宿主物种，并证实这种寄生虫一直存在于该国的野生动物中。
