G Migaki, M D Lagios, E S Herald

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    A juvenile Ganges River dolphin in captivity was diagnosed with hepatic trematodiasis. The liver fluke infection caused severe bile duct inflammation and tissue changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Parasitology
    • Marine Mammal Medicine

    Background:

    • Captive wildlife may be susceptible to novel parasitic infections.
    • Ganges River dolphins (Platanista gangetica) are vulnerable aquatic mammals.

    Observation:

    • A juvenile Ganges River dolphin experienced a 1-year captive period in an aquarium.
    • The dolphin presented with clinical signs suggestive of hepatic disease.

    Findings:

    • Hepatic trematodiasis, caused by the fluke Cyclorchis campula, was confirmed.
    • Histopathology revealed severe chronic suppurative cholangitis, bile duct epithelial hyperplasia, and periductal fibrosis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for parasitic infections in captive cetaceans.
    • Understanding parasite-host interactions is crucial for conservation and veterinary care of endangered species.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment of hepatic trematodiasis are vital for dolphin health.
