Swine kidney worm in Bangladesh: An abattoir survey

Amaç: Bu araştırmada mezbahada kesilen domuzlarda postmortem muayene sonrasında böbreklerinde kurt varlığı patolojik ve prevalans olarak değerlendirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Mezbahalardan domuzların iç organlar toplandı. Böbrekler, peri-renal yağlar, üreterler, akciğerler, karaciğerler ve lenf yumruları makroskobik ve mikroskobik lezyonlar yönünden incelendi. Bulgular: 76 domuzun 16 (%21)sının enfekte olduğu belirlendi. Böbrek korteksi, perirenal yağlar, üreter ve böbrek pelvisinde olgun parazitlerin varlığı belirlendi. Makroskobik olarak kanlı-şişkin ve yüzeyinde krem-beyaz renkte odaklar bulunan böbrekler gözlendi. Böbrek çevresi yağ doku ve iliş- kili diğer dokularda nekrotik odaklar ve kanlı alanlar tespit edildi. Histopatalojik incelemede böbrek paranşim dokuda yoğun eozinofil infiltrasyonu gözlendi. Ayrıca, nefritisle iliş- kili nötrofil ve mononükleer hücre varlığı belirlendi. Birçok vakada perirenal dokuda gömülü olarak parazit parçaları gözlendi. Öneri: Domuzlarda böbreğin normal yapısının bozulmasında, böbreklerde görülen kurtlar ciddi bir problem oluşturmaktadır.

Bangladeş te domuz böbreğindeki kurtlar: Bir mezbaha araştırması.

Aim: Prevalence and pathologic aspects of kidney worm infection in indigenous pigs were described after post-mortem examination. Materials and Methods: Viscera of the pigs from the slaughter houses were collected. Kidneys, peri-renal fats, ureters, lungs, liver and mesenteric lymph nodes were examined for both gross and microscopic lesions. Results: Of the 76 pigs 16 (21%) were infected with the worm. Adult parasites from renal pelvis, ureter, peri-renal fats and from renal cortex were recovered. Grossly, the affected kidneys were swollen, congested and marked with creamy-white necrotic foci visible from the surface. Peri-renal adipose and connective tissues were also congested and marked with necrotic foci. Histopathological studies revealed massive infiltration of the renal parenchyma mainly with eosinophils, however, some neutrophils and mononuclear cells were also detected, suggesting interstitial nephritis. In most of the cases, cross-sections of embedded parasites were observed in peri-renal tissues. Conclusion: Swine kidney worm is a serious problem in pig that causes severe distortion of renal normal architecture.
