Calodium hepaticum (Bancroft, 1893) Moravec, 1982 (Syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a zoonotic nematode that causes hepatic capillariosis, an uncommon zoonotic infection. The nematode is globally distributed and parasitizes the liver of mammals, mainly Muroidea. Cricetulus migratorius Pallas, 1773 (Cricetinae) was rarely reported as a host for C. hepaticum. In Turkey, C. hepaticum was recorded in three rodent species; Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus, and Apodemus flavicollis. In this study, C. migratorius (grey dwarf hamster) has been identified as a new host species for C. hepaticum in Turkey. The parasite was identified by morphological, histological, and molecular methods and the phylogenetic relationships of C. hepaticum collected from different hosts were revealed. This is the first molecular characterization of C. hepaticum from a grey dwarf hamster.

肝Calodium hepaticum（Bancroft，1893年）Moravec，1982年（Syn。Capillaria hepatica）是一种人畜共患线虫，可引起肝毛细血管病，这是一种罕见的人畜共患病感染。线虫遍布全球，寄生于哺乳动物的肝脏，主要是Muroidea。极少有人报道过迁徙ric（Cricetulus migratorius Pallas），1773年（Cricetinae）是C的寄主。肝 在土耳其，记录了三种啮齿动物物种中的肝梭状芽胞杆菌。褐家鼠（R. norvegicus）和黄姬鼠（Apodemus flavicollis）。在这项研究中，C。migratorius（灰色矮仓鼠）已被确定为C. hepaticum的新寄主物种在土耳其。通过形态学，组织学和分子方法鉴定了该寄生虫，并揭示了从不同宿主收集的肝衣原体的系统发育关系。这是来自灰色矮仓鼠的肝梭菌的第一个分子表征。
