ABSTRACT
Hashemnia M, Asadi J, Kish GF, Javdani M., Gross and microscopic lesions from
caprine Schistosomus reflexus,
Onl J Vet Res., 29 (3): 143-151, 2025. Schistosoma reflexus (SR) is a rare and fatal congenital disorder.
Primarily observed in ruminants, its defining features include spinal
inversion, exposure of the abdominal viscera because of a fissure of the
ventral abdominal wall, limb ankylosis, positioning
of the limbs adjacent to the skull and lung hypoplasia. The present study was
aimed at the definition of a case of SR observed for the first time in a goat,
based on anatomical and histopathological findings. This case of SR had
multiple congenital anomalies. In fact, all organs and systems displayed an
irregular orientation, with the exception of the head and neck. Microscopic
examination revealed necrotic and degenerative lesions in the brain, liver,
kidneys and lungs. The lesions were not found in
the other organs.
Key words: schistosomus reflexus, anatomical and histopathological findings, goat.
