Described are the characteristics of the polycystic larval cestodes found in an endemic area of echinococcosis in the Easter Plains of Colombia and the tissue reaction evoked in infected rodents. Of 848 free-ranging animals examined, polycystic hydatids were found in 44/93 Cuniculus paca and 1/369 Proechimys sp. None of 20 Dasyprocta fuliginosa examined was infected, but hunters provided a heart with hydatid cysts and information about two additional animals with infected livers. Recognition of an endemic area of polycystic echinococcosis provides a means to investigate the life cycle of the parasites and to study the histogenesis of the larval cestodes in susceptible laboratory animals.
描述了在哥伦比亚东部平原棘球蚴病流行地区发现的多囊幼虫绦虫的特征以及受感染啮齿动物引发的组织反应。在检查的848只自由放养动物中,在44只九带犰狳中的93只以及1只刺豚鼠属动物中的369只发现了多囊包虫。检查的20只黑刺豚鼠均未感染,但猎人提供了一个带有包虫囊肿的心脏以及另外两只肝脏受感染动物的信息。识别多囊棘球蚴病的流行地区为研究寄生虫的生命周期以及在易感实验动物中研究幼虫绦虫的组织发生提供了一种手段。
