Combined parasitism (<jats:italic>Spirometra<\/jats:italic> spp. and <jats:italic>P. fastosum<\/jats:italic>) was observed in 9.09% (5\/55) of feral cats. Significant pathological findings were only associated with the hepatic fluke, <jats:italic>P. fastosum,<\/jats:italic> and were grossly characterized by moderate hepatomegaly with enlarged and dilated bile ducts. Examples of cestodes with morphological features characteristic of <jats:italic>Spirometra<\/jats:italic> spp. were observed within the small intestine without any associated pathological lesion. The histopathological evaluation of liver fragments revealed chronic intrahepatic cholangitis with and without the associated intraductal trematode, and was characterized by marked periductal fibrosis, adenomatous proliferation of bile duct epithelium, dilation of intrahepatic bile ducts and portal accumulations of inflammatory cells. The occurrence of the cestode in feral cats coupled with factors that are unique to Grand Cayman makes this island the ideal location for sporadic cases of human sparganosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x11000265","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,1]],"date-time":"2011-06-01T04:46:44Z","timestamp":1306903604000},"page":"209-214","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["<i>Platynosomum fastosum-<\/i>induced chronic intrahepatic cholangitis and <i>Spirometra<\/i> spp. infections in feral cats from Grand Cayman"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"S.A.","family":"Headley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.A.","family":"Gillen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.W.D.","family":"Sanches","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.Z.","family":"Satti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref25","first-page":"16","article-title":"Obstructive biliary cirrhosis in a cat due to Platynosomum fastosum infection","volume":"1","author":"Soto","year":"1991","journal-title":"Revista Cient\u00edfica da FCV de Luz"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref34","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3341\/kjo.2007.21.1.48"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref28","first-page":"51","article-title":"Experimental infection of cats with the liver fluke Platynosomum concinnum","volume":"38","author":"Taylor","year":"1977","journal-title":"American Journal of Veterinary Research"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3347\/kjp.1990.28.3.161"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3281933"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7589\/0090-3558-34.3.644"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10329-008-0105-2"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.88.3.62"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref22","first-page":"1300","article-title":"Hepatic lesions associated with liver fluke (Platynosomum fastosum) infection in a cat","volume":"23","author":"Robinson","year":"1962","journal-title":"American Journal of Veterinary Research"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.exppara.2008.07.007"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref7","first-page":"393","volume-title":"Pathologic basis of veterinary disease","author":"Cullen","year":"2005"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0031182098003813"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9780470376805"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2006.06.003"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref3","first-page":"115","volume-title":"Georgis' parasitology for veterinarians","author":"Bowman","year":"2009"},{"key":"S0022149X11000265_ref6","unstructured":"Cayman Wildlife Connection.
