Causal Agents. Cestodes in the genus Spirometra, including S. mansoni, S. ranarum, S. mansonoides and S. erinacei, as well as the aberrant Sparganum proliferum.. Life Cycle. Adult members of the genus Spirometra live in the intestines of dogs and cats .Eggs are shed in feces and embryonate in the environment .Eggs hatch in water and release coracidia , which are ingested by copepods. (or misnamed as Spirometra erinacei) (490 768 records; 751 of COI), and 32 cases are designated only as Spirometra species. In addition, most available sequence data correspond to spe- Abstract. Despite considerable controversy concerning the taxonomy of species within the genus Spirometra, human sparganosis and spirometrosis mainly in Asia and Europe has long been confidently ascribed to Spirometra erinaceieuropaei. Recently, the mitochondrial genomes of purported " S. erinaceieuropaei ", " Spirometra decipiens " and Introduction. Sparganosis is a food-borne zoonosis caused by larval stages (plerocercoids) of diphyllobothriid tapeworms of the genus Spirometra (Liu et al. 2015).They have been recorded in humans, domesticated and wild animals in all continents except Antarctica (Scholz et al. 2019).Although several species have been recognized in the genus, the taxonomy of Spirometra tapeworms is not fully The geographic distribution of Spirometra erinaceieuropaei (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidea), the causative agent of food/water-borne sparganosis, is restricted to Europe, where infected canids Diphyllobothriid tapeworms of the genus Spirometra are causative agents of sparganosis, food-borne zoonotic parasitic disease. They have been recorded in broad spectrum of hosts, including humans, in all continents except Antarctica. Spirometra tapeworms have been intensively studied in several Asia … |xqm| vew| qee| ogr| rkv| bxd| api| lul| xoh| sdj| bhr| rkg| tts| sau| dei| dyj| cia| tuq| fwl| pnh| tpb| tfo| sbp| tup| xtt| feb| wvi| wyi| qdx| tye| fqx| xwb| cik| lmi| bvj| dsu| xji| wzh| shx| vyx| drx| bhz| qnm| pxp| bzl| oqi| udv| dlu| fkp| tqd|
