Resumo
Platynosomum illiciens is a worldwide distributed biliary trematode with a heteroxenous life cycle involving three hosts: snails (Subulina octona) and terrestrial isopods (pillbugs) as the intermediate hosts, and domestic and wild mammals and birds as the definitive hosts. Despite being known as lizard-poisoning disease, reptiles are not obligatory hosts, but paratenic hosts involved in the transmission. The parasite found in domestic cats was considered a separate species (Platynosomum fastosum or Platynosomum concinnum) for decades, but morphological, experimental, and molecular studies showed that the same species, P. illiciens, also infects non-felid hosts, adding complexity to the epizooty of platynosomosis. The number of reported cases is growing over time, resulting from the man-made spread of potential hosts, which includes invasive species in different parts of the world. This fact, in addition to its low host specificity, contributes to the expansion of P. illiciens throughout the globe.
