A 2-year-old Kunekune sow was submitted for necropsy following death after peritonitis and sepsis. In addition to peritonitis, numerous fluid-filled cysts were identified in the mesentery and hepatic parenchyma, which contained an approximately 1 cm metacestode (cysticercosis). Subsequent molecular characterization confirmed the presence of a non-zoonotic cestode species. To our knowledge, visceral cysticercosis caused by has not been previously documented in Kunekune pigs. is a differential diagnosis of public health importance in cases of cysticercosis. Although is not commonly reported nor endemic in the United States, its zoonotic potential warrants consideration in the initial diagnostic assessment. Clinicians should be aware of the presence of in its definitive and intermediate hosts.
一头2岁的库内库内母猪因腹膜炎和败血症死亡后被提交进行尸检。除腹膜炎外，在肠系膜和肝实质中发现了许多充满液体的囊肿，其中含有一个约1厘米的中绦期幼虫（囊尾蚴病）。随后的分子特征鉴定证实存在一种非人畜共患的绦虫物种。据我们所知，库内库内猪此前尚未有由[具体病原体名称未给出]引起的内脏囊尾蚴病的记录。[具体病原体名称未给出]在囊尾蚴病病例中是具有公共卫生重要性的鉴别诊断。尽管[具体病原体名称未给出]在美国并不常见也非地方流行，但其人畜共患潜力在初始诊断评估中值得考虑。临床医生应了解[具体病原体名称未给出]在其终末宿主和中间宿主中的存在情况。
