The reason for the presentation of this case is that Linguatula serrata, a parasite rarely encountered in humans, was found in a patient in Van province. Cases of infection of this parasite commonly occur where animals are raised, such as slaughterhouses and farms. Musharrafeh U, Hamadeh G, Touma A, Fares J Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992) 2018 Dec;64(12):1081-1084. doi: 10.1590/1806-9282.64.12.1081. Infection in liver, mesenteric lymph nodes, and other glands may cause weakening and death of the animals, thus weakening the agricultural economy. Linguatula serrata females mate once over the course of their lifetime, but due to huge spermathecal storage and oocytes continuously being ejected from the ovary, females can lay thousands or millions of eggs per year.

Linguatula serrata is known as a cosmopolitan zoonotic parasite whose adult form inhabits the upper respiratory system, nasal airways and frontal sinuses of dogs, foxes, cats and other carnivores, which are recognized as its final hosts. Infection rates of small ruminants in the Middle East are significant, as up to 50% of sheep may be infected within a region.

Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Butterflies have complete metamorphosis, grasshoppers have incomplete metamorphosis.

An official website of the United States government. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies We assumed the mode of infection to be ingestion or direct eye contact with L. serrata eggs and the source of infection to be 1 of the patients 2 pet dogs. The anterior end had apical papillae and a chitinoid oral clasp (Figure 1, panel C). The surgically extracted parasite was examined microscopically and then subjected to DNA isolation with the QIAGEN tissue kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). Linguatula serrata, the so-called tongue worm, is a worm-like, bloodsucking parasite belonging to the Pentastomida group. This work was supported by the Medical University of Vienna, Austria. Riley, J. Sequence similarities to other pentastomids range from 90.0% (Armillifer agkistrodontis, Porocephalus crotali) to 90.8% (Raillietiella spp.). The clinical picture of the case was very puzzling and the attack lasted for 15 days. While many pentastomid males die directly after mating, Linguatula serrata males may live for a period of time after mating.

If swallowed by the definitive host, the eggs are passed through the feces to the external environment. T he species Linguatula serrata belongs to the As a result, we think that physicians should consider L. serrata infestation in patients applying to health foundations with complaints such as pharyngitis accompanied by pharyngeal pain, coughing, sneezing and vomiting.

The rabbit becomes infected upon consumption of eggs shed by respiratory excretions of the definitive hosts which include dogs and occasionally humans (Schoeb et al., 2007). Surgical removal of the parasite was complicated because of high mobility of the parasite inside the anterior chamber.
