Capillaria hepatica (Calodium hepaticum) infection in a horse: a case report. [PDF]

BMC Vet Res, 2017
Capillaria hepatica is a zoonotic parasite in humans and animals and has a worldwide distribution. However, infections in mammals apart from rodents, which are natural hosts of the parasite, have rarely been reported. This report describes the first known case of C.

Enzootic Hepatic Capillariasis (Calodium hepaticum) in Street Rats (Rattus norvegicus) from Marseille City, France. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2020
Hepatic capillariasis is a rare and neglected zoonosis affecting wild and synanthropic small rodents. It is caused by infection with Calodium hepaticum in liver. Despite the worldwide distribution of the host Rattus norvegicus (brown or street rats) in the urban area, the epidemiological status of this parasitosis remains unknown. In the present study,

Micromammals as a reservoir for the zoonotic nematode Calodium hepaticum (syn. Capillaria hepatica) in recreational areas of Slovakia. [PDF]

Curr Res Parasitol Vector Borne Dis
The hepatic nematode Calodium hepaticum is one of the most pathogenic parasites of small mammals. However, due to its specific life cycle and transmission pattern, it is one of the least studied helminths in the world. The only documented findings of C.

An overview of the host spectrum and distribution of Calodium hepaticum (syn. Capillaria hepatica): part 1-Muroidea. [PDF]

Parasitol Res, 2014
Calodium hepaticum (syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a worldwide-distributed species of zoonotic nematodes with a high affinity to the liver. Several rodent species of the superfamily Muroidea serve as main hosts for this pathogen. C. hepaticum has been found in Muroidean hosts in more than 60 countries in Europe; North, Central, and South America; Asia ...

Calodium hepaticum: household clustering transmission and the finding of a source of human spurious infection in a community of the Amazon region. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2012
Calodium hepaticum (syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a worldwide helminth parasite of which several aspects of transmission still remain unclear. In the Amazon region, the mechanism of transmission based on the ingestion of eggs present in the liver of wild mammals has been suggested as the cause of the spurious infections described.

Capillaria hepatica (syn. Calodium hepaticum) infection and factors influencing infection carriage in rats (Rattus spp.) in Hong Kong. [PDF]

One Health
(syn. ) (Bancroft, 1893) is a nematode, which colonises the liver of a wide range of hosts including humans. The worldwide prevalence of infection in the genus can be as high as 100% and the Norway rat () and black rat () are considered the main host species.

Variability ofCalodium hepaticumeggs from sigmodontine host species through geometric morphometric analysis

Journal of Helminthology, 2022
AbstractCalodium hepaticumis a zoonotic nematode with a worldwide distribution. Although the host range ofC. hepaticumincludes a wide spectrum of mammals (including humans), this parasite is predominantly associated with the families Muridae and Cricetidae. Several Sigmodontinae species from Argentina were found to be infected byC.

Prevalence of Calodium hepaticum (Syn. Capillaria hepatica) in house mice (Mus musculus) in the Azores archipelago [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2009
Calodium hepaticum (Syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a zoonotic liver nematode of mammals distributed worldwide. Rodents are believed to be the main reservoirs of this nematode. In this paper, prevalence of the parasite was analyzed in liver histological sections from 51 house mice (Mus musculus) caught in human-inhabited houses, from two localities ...
