Disseminated Sparganosis in a Cynomolgus Macaque (Macaca fascicularis)

An adult male cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) from Mauritius arrived at our facility in France after a 1-year period of quarantine in Spain. Clinical examination soon after arrival revealed the presence of numerous firm cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules (0.1–0.5 cm diameter) in the scrotal...

Zusammenfassung:	An adult male cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) from Mauritius arrived at our facility in France after a 1-year period of quarantine in Spain. Clinical examination soon after arrival revealed the presence of numerous firm cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules (0.1–0.5 cm diameter) in the scrotal and inguinal areas, and persistent mild eosinophilia. On necropsy examination additional similar nodules were found in the peritoneum and abdominal wall, omentum and mesentery. Microscopical examination revealed disseminated eosinophilic granulomas containing tapeworm larvae identified as Spirometra erinaceieuropaei by direct sequencing of the cox1 gene.
