Resumo em Inglês
We report the finding of eggs of Calodium spp. (syn. Capillaria spp.; Hepaticola
spp.) in a fecal sample from an old woman living in a riverine community in the Negro River Basin
and describe the associated epidemiological investigation. The case probably does not represent
true parasitism; the eggs, which were compatible with the species Calodium hepaticum, were
most likely ingested upon consumption of infected tapir (Tapirus terrestris) liver, subsequently
passing through the gut and being eliminated. The evolution of these eggs to infective stages
in the environment, given the poor sanitation background, could provide the risk of occurrence
of hepatic disease in humans.
