Title: Necrotizing Enteritis Caused by Pharyngostomum cordatum Infection in a Stray Cat Document date: 2019_2_26

Snippet: Human and veterinary clinics typically diagnose P. cordatum infection through detecting eggs in fecal examinations [18] . Thus, the morphology of the egg and adult is already known [16, 19] . Although we could not obtain fecal samples, we identified adult parasites in the small intestine using direct microscopy and PCR. The morphological characteristics we recorded for P. cordatum from microscopic analysis are consistent with previous description.....
Document: Human and veterinary clinics typically diagnose P. cordatum infection through detecting eggs in fecal examinations [18] . Thus, the morphology of the egg and adult is already known [16, 19] . Although we could not obtain fecal samples, we identified adult parasites in the small intestine using direct microscopy and PCR. The morphological characteristics we recorded for P. cordatum from microscopic analysis are consistent with previous description [16] . Moreover, our successful PCR identification of this parasite suggests that molecular techniques would enable rapid diagnosis of P. cordatum infection in domestic and wild cats, whether from fecal or tissue samples.
