Morphometry on lancet flukes found in Japanese sika deer (Cervus nippon centralis) captured in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. (1/6)
Thirty-six flukes were collected from the livers of wild deer (Cervus nippon centralis) captured in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, and were served for morphometry. The length and/or the width of the body, suckers, testes, ovary, vitelline glands, cirrus pouch and eggs in the uterus of the flukes were measured. The distance between anterior end of the body and position of the maximal body-width or upper end of the testes were also determined. A remarked morphological characteristic was that the right and left testes did not lie tandem but lined bilaterally. Also the position of the maximal body-width did not always locate in the posterior part of the body of the fluke. The property was in accordance with those for Dicrocoelium chinensis. (+info)Lipid peroxidation and antioxidant potential of sheep liver infected naturally with distomatosis. (2/6)
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of natural distomatosis infections on sheep liver malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, activities of enzymatic antioxidants (glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn-SOD), catalase (CAT)) and concentrations of non-enzymatic antioxidants (reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin C, and beta-carotene). Eighteen Akkaraman sheep naturally infected with Fasciola sp and Dicrocoelium dentriticum (D. dentriticum) and ten healthy Akkaraman sheep were included in the study Liver samples for the analysis of MDA, GPx, Cu, Zn-SOD, CAT, GSH, vitamin C, and beta-carotene and blood samples for the measurement of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were collected immediately after sheep in the two groups were slaughtered. The concentration of MDA and activity of GPx in the group with distomatosis were higher than in the control group (P < 0.001). However, the Cu, Zn-SOD, CAT activities and the GSH, vitamin C concentrations in the infected group were significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.001). The serum beta-carotene was not found to be statistically different in the two groups (P > 0.05). ALT and AST serum activities of the group with distomatosis were significantly higher in comparison to the control group (P < 0.001). In this study it was demonstrated that lipid peroxidation increased and activities or/and concentrations of antioxidant compounds were significantly changed in the liver of sheep with distomatosis.

Infection with Dicrocoelium dendriticum in humans is rarely reported in the medical literature. This liver fluke, which commonly infects ruminants, has a complex life cycle with two intermediate hosts--the land snail and the ant. True human infection occurs by ingestion of the second intermediate host, but spurious infections have occurred after consumption of undercooked animal liver. The present report describes a patient with active Crohn's disease whose stool contained D dendriticum eggs. A brief discussion of the medical literature is presented.

Dicrocoelium dendriticum is a liver parasite of ruminants. Humans are occasionally infected by ingestion of intermediate hosts. We report a rare case of dicrocoeliasis in a 55-year-old woman who presented with eosinophilia and elevated bilirubin. Therapy with albendazole eradicated the parasite and normalized blood parameters. (+info)Human infection with Dicrocoelium dendriticum in Turkey. (5/6)

A case who was suffering from abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea refered to Isfahan Health Training and Research Center, Institute of Public Health. Current treatments for chronic diarrhea incloding a traial of gluten fre diet were performed but these were not effective because he was infected by Dicrocoelium dentriticum. Then he was cured with parasitic treatment. (+info)Dicrocoeliasis is a parasitic infection caused by the liver fluke Dicrocoelium dendriticum, leading to damage and obstruction of the bile ducts, typically acquired through ingestion of contaminated vegetation or snails.
Dicrocoeliasis is a parasitic infection caused by the fluke Dicrocoelium dendriticum, also known as the lancet liver fluke. This small flatworm infects the bile ducts of the liver in its definitive host, which are usually herbivorous animals such as sheep and cattle. Humans can become accidental hosts by ingesting contaminated vegetation or water that contains the encysted larval stage of the fluke.
The infection is typically asymptomatic or causes only mild symptoms, such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and fatigue. However, in severe cases, it can lead to liver damage and other complications. The diagnosis of dicrocoeliasis is usually made by detecting the presence of the parasite's eggs in the stool or through imaging techniques such as ultrasound or CT scan. Treatment typically involves the use of anthelmintic medications that are effective against flukes, such as praziquantel or triclabendazole.

CDC - DPDx - Parasites A-Z IndexPinworm infection - Wikipedia
Pinworm infection spreads through human-to-human transmission, by swallowing infectious pinworm eggs.[18][19] The eggs are hardy and can remain infectious in a moist environment for up to three weeks,[11][18] though in a warm dry environment they usually last only 1-2 days.[20] They do not tolerate heat well, but can survive in low temperatures: at −8 degrees Celsius (18 °F), two-thirds of the eggs are still viable after 18 hours.[11] After the eggs have been initially deposited near the anus, they are readily transmitted to other surfaces through contamination.[19] The surface of the eggs is sticky when laid,[12][11] and the eggs are readily transmitted from their initial deposit near the anus to fingernails, hands, night-clothing and bed linen.[9] From here, eggs are further transmitted to food, water, furniture, toys, bathroom fixtures and other objects.[12][18][19] Household pets often carry the eggs in their fur, while not actually being infected.[21] Dust containing eggs can become ...

Cutaneous larva migrans - WikiProjectMed
The infection causes a red, intensely pruritic (itchy) eruption, and may look like twirling lesions.[4] The itching can become very painful and if scratched may allow a secondary bacterial infection to develop. Cutaneous larva migrans usually heals spontaneously over weeks to months and has been known to last as long as one year.[5] However, the severity of the symptoms usually causes those infected to seek medical treatment before spontaneous resolution occurs. Following proper treatment, migration of the larvae within the skin is halted and relief of the associated itching can occur in less than 48 hours (reported for thiabendazole).[2] This is separate from the similar cutaneous larva currens which is caused by Strongyloides. Larva currens is also a cause of migratory pruritic eruptions but is marked by 1) migratory speed on the order of inches per hour 2) perianal involvement due to autoinfection from stool and 3) a wide band of urticaria.[6] ...

Nematode - Wikipedia
Most nematode species are dioecious, with separate male and female individuals, though some, such as Caenorhabditis elegans, are androdioecious, consisting of hermaphrodites and rare males. Both sexes possess one or two tubular gonads. In males, the sperm are produced at the end of the gonad and migrate along its length as they mature. The testis opens into a relatively wide seminal vesicle and then during intercourse into a glandular and muscular ejaculatory duct associated with the vas deferens and cloaca. In females, the ovaries each open into an oviduct (in hermaphrodites, the eggs enter a spermatheca first) and then a glandular uterus. The uteri both open into a common vulva/vagina, usually located in the middle of the morphologically ventral surface.[49] Reproduction is usually sexual, though hermaphrodites are capable of self-fertilization. Males are usually smaller than females or hermaphrodites (often much smaller) and often have a characteristically bent or fan-shaped tail. During ...
