人舌形虫病的研究进展

人舌形虫病是由舌形虫引起的由食物传播或水传播的人兽共患寄生虫病。近20年来人舌形虫病的研究取得较大突破。传统的内脏舌形虫病可分成两个亚型:成囊内脏舌形虫病和脱囊内脏舌形虫病。迄今全球已知致病舌形虫10种和舌形虫病11种。尖吻蝮蛇舌状虫病、串珠蛇舌状虫病和台湾孔头舌虫病在中国的发现,首例眼舌形虫病分别在以色列和厄瓜多尔查见,以及在伊朗报道数例鼻咽舌形虫病,表明新疫源地的存在和流行区的扩大。该文对人舌形虫病的病原学、病理学和致病机制、临床表现、诊断、流行病学、控制和预防的研究进展作了综述。

Advances in studies of human pentastomidosis

Human pentastomidosis is a series of food-borne or water-borne parasitic zoonoses caused by pentastomid parasites. During the past 20 years, there have been significant advances in studies of human pentastomidosis. The classical visceral pentastomidosis could be divided into two subtypes: encystic and excystic. At present, there are ten pathogenic species of pentastomid parasites and eleven kinds of pentastomidosis world-wide. The endemic circumstances of discovery of armilliferosis agkistrodontis, armilliferosis moniliformis and porocephalosis taiwana in China, the identification of ocular linguatulosis in Israel and Ecuador respectively, and several case reports of nasopharyngeal linguatulosis in Iran, indicated the existence of new focus of pentastomidosis and the expansion of the endemic areas. This review summerized the advances in researches on aetiology, pathology and pathogenesis as well as clinical manifestation, diagnosis, control and prevention of human pentastomidosis.
