Trematodes of the family Heterophyidae in man and carnivores were studied in Khuzestan, south-west Iran. Eight hundred and eleven stool samples from a population of 3400 in 13 villages in a swampy area located in central Khuzestan were examined by the formalin-ether concentration technique. The following helminths were found: Ascaris lumbricoides 7%, Trichostrongylus spp. 53%, hookworms 4+, Trichuris trichiura 5%, Hymenolepis nana 12% and heterophyid spp. 8%. Post-mortem examination of carnivores revealed that 14.2% of jackals, 33.3% of foxes and 2.5% of dogs were infected with heterophyids, namely Metagonimus yokogawai, Heterophyes heterophyes and H. katsuradai. The freshwater snails Melanoides and Melanopsis spp. and brackish water fishes Barbus spp. and Mugil spp. were thought to be the intermediate hosts of these flukes in this area. This is the first report of heterophyid infection in man and carnivores in Iran.
在伊朗西南部的胡齐斯坦省，对人和食肉动物体内的异形科吸虫进行了研究。采用福尔马林-乙醚浓缩技术，对胡齐斯坦省中部一个沼泽地区13个村庄的3400人粪便样本中的811份进行了检测。发现的蠕虫如下：蛔虫7%，毛圆线虫属53%，钩虫4%以上，鞭虫5%，微小膜壳绦虫12%，异形吸虫8%。对食肉动物的尸检显示，14.2%的豺、33.3%的狐狸和2.5%的狗感染了异形吸虫，即横川后殖吸虫、异形异形吸虫和 Katsuradai异形吸虫。淡水螺类的Melanoides和Melanopsis属以及咸淡水鱼类的Barbus属和Mugil属被认为是该地区这些吸虫的中间宿主。这是伊朗首次关于人和食肉动物感染异形吸虫的报告。
