Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Platynosomiasis in non-human primates kept under human care causes chronic disease of the bile ducts and liver, which initially presents with nonspecific signs and can culminate in the death of the animal. Diagnosing this disease is a challenge, and an ultrasound examination can be an excellent tool when it is suspected.
METHODS: This study describes the ultrasound findings from 57 marmosets with suspected infection by Platynosomum sp., the correlated hepatobiliary changes, and the anatomopathological findings that confirmed the occurrence of platynosomiasis.
RESULTS: In six marmosets (one C. aurita, two C. jacchus, and three Callithrix sp.), Platynosomum infection was confirmed macroscopically (presence of adult trematodes in the gallbladder) and microscopically (adults, larvae, and eggs in histological examinations and eggs in bile and feces). These findings were compatible with the hepatobiliary changes and with images suggestive of parasitic structures in ante-mortem assessments.
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound examination demonstrated its usefulness within the clinical routine for investigating this parasitosis.

摘要：
背景：在人类护理下的非人类灵长类动物中的PlatynoSomiasis会导致胆管和肝脏的慢性疾病，最初表现为非特异性体征，并最终导致动物死亡。诊断这种疾病是一个挑战，当怀疑时，超声波检查可能是一个很好的工具。
方法：本研究描述了57例疑似感染桔梗的小鼠的超声检查结果。,相关的肝胆变化，和解剖病理学发现证实了颈髓病的发生。
结果：在六只猴子中（一只C.aurita，两个C.Jacchus,和三个Callithrixsp。),在宏观上（胆囊中存在成年吸虫）和显微镜下（成人，幼虫,和组织学检查中的卵和胆汁和粪便中的卵）。这些发现与死前评估中的肝胆变化以及暗示寄生虫结构的图像相符。
结论：超声检查证明其在临床常规中用于研究这种寄生虫病。
