| Popis: | Calodium hepaticum (syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a nematode of the Capillariidae family that infects rodents and other mammals. In Brazil, human spurious infections of C. hepaticum have been detected in indigenous or rural communities from the Amazon Basin, but not in the southern states of the country. Here, we report the highest occurrence (13.5% of 37 residents) of C. hepaticum human spurious infection detected in Brazil and the first record in a southern region, Guaraquecaba. The finding is explained by the area being located in the Atlantic Forest of the state of Parana, surrounded by preserved forests and because the inhabitants consume the meat of wild mammals. |
