dogs and cats), hookworms (dog), Trichuris (dog) Capillaria hepatica (cats), taeniids (cat), and Aelurostrongylus abstrusus (cat) were also found. (bvsalud.org)
Fasciola1
Other less-important flukes include the liver flukes Fasciola hepatica and Opisthorchis viverrini and the intestinal flukes Fasciolopsis buski, Heterophyes heterophyes, and Metagonimus yokogawai . (medscape.com)
Capillariasis2
Capillaria hepatica is a parasitic nematode which causes hepatic capillariasis in rodents and numerous other mammal species, including humans. (wikipedia.org)
In humans C. hepatica causes Hepatic capillariasis, a serious liver disorder. (wikipedia.org)
Necator1
A single dose of albendazole is sufficient to treat intestinal infestations by A. duodenale or Necator americanus . (wikipedia.org)
Eggs2
Hosts ingest C. hepatica eggs (from sources outlined below) which hatch into first stage larvae (L1). (wikipedia.org)
Reexamination of samples showed that they contained Capillaria eggs that resemble T. trichiura in Kato-Katz smears. (cdc.gov)
Liver2
However, as the adult C. hepatica begin to die in the liver tissue, their decomposition accelerates the immune response of the host. (wikipedia.org)
Infections of C. hepatica can present with several clinical symptoms including, abdominal pain in the liver area, weight loss, decreased appetite, fever and chills, hepatitis (liver inflammation), ascites (excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity) and hepatolithiasis (gallstones in the bile ducts). (wikipedia.org)
Humans1
Capillaria hepatica is rarely found in humans and at least 40 cases have been reported. (wikipedia.org)
Infection1
There are no endemic areas of infection with C. hepatica and human infection primarily results from Zoonotic transmission. (wikipedia.org)
Animals2
Usually, Capillaria hepatica is found in rodents, monkeys and other animals. (wikipedia.org)
Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Taenia taeniaeformis, and spurious excretion of Ca. hepatica in cats, indicates that these animals preyed on intermediate hosts, and that biosafety measures in pet shelters need to be evaluated for their efficacy in the prevention of pathogen transmission. (bvsalud.org)
Single1
The life cycle of C. hepatica may be completed in a single host species. (wikipedia.org)
Ascaris2
Soiling by infected human faeces is responsible for infestation by Ascaris , Enterobius , Trichuris , cysticercus larvae (larval T. solium ). (wikitropica.org)
Other etiologic agents include Baylisascaris procyonis , Capillaria hepatica , Ascaris suum , and some Ancylostoma species. (medscape.com)
Calodium2
Various authors have subsequently renamed it Trichosoma hepaticum, Capillaria hepatica, Hepaticola hepatica and Calodium hepaticum. (wikipedia.org)
Currently it is usually referred to as either Capillaria hepatica or, less often, Calodium hepaticum. (wikipedia.org)
Parasitic1
Capillaria hepatica is a parasitic nematode which causes hepatic capillariasis in rodents and numerous other mammal species, including humans. (wikipedia.org)
Infections3
Infections of C. hepatica can present with several clinical symptoms including, abdominal pain in the liver area, weight loss, decreased appetite, fever and chills, hepatitis (liver inflammation), ascites (excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity) and hepatolithiasis (gallstones in the bile ducts). (wikipedia.org)
It is the causative agent of the rare conditions of hepatic capillariosis and spurious C. hepatica infections in humans. (nih.gov)
In this review, 163 reported cases of infestations with this parasite (72 reports of hepatic capillariosis, 13 serologically confirmed infestations and 78 observations of spurious infections) are summarized with an overview on the distribution, symptoms, pathology, diagnosis, serology and therapy of this rare human pathogen. (nih.gov)
Zoonotic1
There are no endemic areas of infection with C. hepatica and human infection primarily results from Zoonotic transmission. (wikipedia.org)
Species1
The life cycle of C. hepatica may be completed in a single host species. (wikipedia.org)
Host1
All intestinal roundworms (nematodes) have a fairly complex cycle, but almost always without an intermediate host ( Capillaria phillipinensis is an exception = mainly through the ingestion of raw fish). (wikitropica.org)
