  • Title: Fatal toxoplasmosis and concurrent Calodium hepaticum infection in Korean squirrels (Tanias sibericus).
    Author: Carrasco L, Raya AI, Núñez A, Gómez-Laguna J, Hernández S, Dubey JP.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 2006 Apr 15; 137(1-2):180-3. PubMed ID: 16406358.
    Abstract:
    Four Korean squirrels (Tanias siberius) imported in Spain from People's Republic of China died 2 days after their arrival at a pet shop. They had neurological signs associated with generalized toxoplasmosis involving brain, lungs, liver, and the heart. Toxoplasma gondii-like tachyzoites and tissue cysts were found in organs of all four squirrels. The protozoa stained positively with T. gondii polyclonal antibodies and were ultrastructurally similar to T. gondii. Calodium (Capillaria) hepaticum infection was found in the liver of one squirrel.
