Background Peritoneal larval cestodiasis induced by Mesocestoides Vaillant, 1863 (Cyclophyllidea: Mesocestoididae) is a common cause of severe infections in domestic dogs and cats, reported also from other mammals and less frequently from birds. However, there is a limited knowledge on the taxonomy of causative agents of this disease. Results In the present study, we investigated a massive, likely lethal, infection of a song thrush Turdus philomelos (Passeriformes: Turdidae) by Mesocestoides sp. tetrathyridia. We performed combined morphological and phylogenetic analysis of the tetrathyridia and compared them with the materials obtained previously from other birds and mammals. The metrical data fitted within the wide range reported by previous authors but confirmed the limited value of morphological data for species identification of tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides spp. The molecular analyses suggested that the isolates represented an unidentified Mesocestoides sp. that was previously repeatedly isolated and sequenced in larval and adult forms from domestic dogs and cats in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. In contrast to the present study, which found encysted tetrathyridia, four of the five previous studies that identified the same species described infections by acephalic metacestodes only. Conclusions The tetrathyridia of the examined Mesocestoides sp. are described in the present study for the first time. However, the possible match with the species that were previously reported to infect birds remains uncertain. The phylogenetic analyses also suggested the rejection of two cases that were previously identified as Mesocestoides corti as they were likely caused by the same species as in the presently reported infection case. The newly provided DNA sequences should allow the assignment to species in the future, when adults of the genus Mesocestoides are more thoroughly sequenced.

“…Tetrathyridium is a second stage larvae affecting vertebrate (second intermediate host) and the first stage larvae (metacestode) of first intermediate host is unknown but believed to be an coprophagous arthropod (Brigitte 1991). Mesocestoides species can live in a wide range of hosts, but are particularly widespread in carnivores (Barker et al 1993;Tenora 2004;David et al 2011).…”

Parasitic diseases are a serious problem in wild animals and a significant burden on wild populations. There is a need for more studies on the topic in India. An adult male Barn Owl presented for post mortem examination revealed hard mass macroscopically with multiple pyogranuloma on liver and lung and histo-pathologically the lung and liver lesion were identified as the second stage of Mesocestoides sp. cestode named Tetrathyridia spp.

“…Bu cinste geçerli 12 tür bulunmasına karşın, günümüzde morfolojik ve moleküler olarak ayrılabilen dört tür mevcut olup bunlar; M. lineatus, M. litteratus, M. canislagopodis ve M. corti (M. vogae)'dir(7,17). Bununla birlikte Tenora(19), M. melesi'nin ilk tanımlanmasının yetersiz olduğu, bu nedenle M. lineatus'un sinonimi olabileceğini öne sürmüştür. Bu nedenle morfolojik olarak M. melesi olarak adlandırılan tür ve diğer türlerin moleküler olarak doğrulanmasında yarar bulunmaktadır.…”

Laboratuvarına getirilen, trafik kazasında ölmüş bir erkek porsuk parazitolojik açıdan sistematik olarak incelenmiştir. Parazitolojik inceleme sonucu porsuğun üç ektoparazit ve üç endoparazit türü ile enfekte olduğu saptandı. Ektoparazit olarak bir pire (Paraceras melis) ve iki kene türü (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus), endoparazit olarak bir sestod (Mesocestoides melesi) ve iki nematod türü (Aonchotheca putorii, Molineus patens) belirlendi. Türkiye'de parazitlerin tümü için porsuk yeni konak, M. melesi ise Türkiye faunası için ilk bildirimdir.
