Dioctophymosis in the little grison (Galictis cuja).
Two cases of dioctophymosis in wild little grisons (Galictis cuja) were found in Paraná State (southern Brazil). One female host was infected with eight nematodes and a male harbored a single parasite. This represents the first report of the giant kidney nematode (Dioctophyme renale) in the little grison.
