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.

D013031 Sparganosis Infection of animals, including fish and man, with a developmental stage of Diphyllobothrium. This stage has recently been referred to as a plerocercoid but the name sparganum has persisted. Therefore, infection of fish or other animals with the plerocercoid larvae is sparganosis. Fish-eating mammals, including man, are the final hosts. Sparganoses
D013146 Spirometra A genus of tapeworms of the family Diphyllobothriidae, which are parasites of fish-eating cats, dogs, and birds. Infection in man is caused by eating undercooked fish. The larval form is called SPARGANUM. Spirometras
