Abstract:
Adult Clonorchis sinensis not only occurs in human hepatic duct,but also in the liver,gallbladder and bile ducts of animals,including dogs and cats,thus causing clonorchiasis—one of important parasitic zoonoses. In present study,we dis?sected a domestic cat in which a total of 736 pieces of trematodes,identified as Clonorchis sinensis,were detected in the liver and cholecyst. The findings indicate that Clonorchis sinensis may be endemic in domestic animals in Wuhu area,and observe our awareness in prevention of the parasites in house pets.
