Firstly, I would like to thank you very much to D.r Michele Calatri for
your interest in this article. I would like to say that I would like to
publish this report in the form of a picture, and then let people decide
on this form and its nature. But after showing the pictures to a number
of my colleagues in the field, they advised me to publish it as a case
and leave the discussion to the reviewers and editors. Yes, they asked
me about what I found out about the use of dyes for the uterus, and they
asked me about my expectation of which species it belongs to. First, I
would like to assure you resolutely that these are pieces and stages of
worms and do not belong to any species of fungi due to their
comprehensive difference from this species and also do not belong to the
family of viruses due to the properties I know about them. Yes, I let
the door open because there is a difference in shape between the adult
and the proglottid in Teana spps which is common in our community it is
clear to identify and almost all times with concentration technique at
this density 9 segments the eggs will appear.
Secondly, considering the point of the scenario….you are right it
is complicated if we look at Metacestode it is different, because as we
know the proglottid at least contains the uterus.
Thirdly, with the term rare tapeworm…., we didn’t mean this is a
new adult worm we know the characteristics of an adult worm, this is
transparent, we didn’t show the adult with this transparent feature, but
all time it is dark. I think this misidentification even you is quite
published a rare thing until the molecular finished we will decide if
this is old worms. we know this stage as a type of worm diagnostic stage
if there is a new type or even the same type with different genetic
makeup all we know. Immature publications as you say it is better than
silence in these cases.
The point finally, yes you are right the primary diagnostic of
parasitology is a microscopic examination I admit that I am not skilled
and professional in parasites, but I would like to inform you and others
we are diagnosed with many parasites in our regions such as Malaria it
is too much smaller than worms if this is protozoa may be neglected but
it is worms even the stage eggs.
I explained in the image the Lense 10 as a parasitologist you know the
dimensions of the object10, this is a direct picture from a microscope
with a mobile camera.
Finally considering the language yes may be there is few mistakes but
fortunately, the language is understandable as scientific language, and
the journal makes proof at the last stage of publications I think even
my letters may contain these mistakes again and I will learn every day
hope to identify this parasite as we again see adult Teana species in
the Catfish I will try to do all things such as India ink and get the
full parasitic characteristics and until this war in Sudan finished we
hope for our country and scientists safe. Again, we thank D.r Michele
Calatri for this valuable discussion we hope all to find a better
description for this case.
