| Popis: | Eurytrema procyonis is reported from the pancreatic ducts of domestic cats from North Carolina and Virginia. There were extensive histopathological alterations to the pancreas, especially the pancreatic ducts. However, there was no clinical evidence of infections. The incorporation of a synanthropic host in the life history of E. procyonis allows for rapid distribution of this fluke over its potential geographical range. |
