Tissues from 23 Australian water rats (Hydromys chrysogaster) collected from five localities in central and northern Queensland, Australia, between February 1992 and May 1993, were examined for protozoan parasites and additional pathological changes. We found Klossiella hydromyos in the kidneys, Toxoplasma gondii in the brain and skeletal muscles and Sarcocystis sp. in the somatic musculature. Other pathological findings, including interstitial nephritis, interstitial pneumonia and a tongue abscess, as well as helminth-induced lesions in the lungs, mesenteries, stomach wall and cecal wall were also noted.
1992年2月至1993年5月期间，从澳大利亚昆士兰州中部和北部五个地点采集了23只澳大利亚水鼠（Hydromys chrysogaster）的组织，对其进行原生动物寄生虫和其他病理变化检查。我们在肾脏中发现了水鼠克洛斯孢虫，在大脑和骨骼肌中发现了刚地弓形虫，在体壁肌肉组织中发现了肉孢子虫属。还观察到其他病理结果，包括间质性肾炎、间质性肺炎和舌脓肿，以及肺部、肠系膜、胃壁和盲肠壁的蠕虫引起的病变。
