Update on the Human Broad Tapeworm (Genus Diphyllobothrium), Including Clinical Relevance

Original language description

Diphyllobothriosis, a human disease caused by tapeworms of the genus Diphyllobothrium, is the most important fish-borne zoonosis caused by a cestode parasite. Up to 20 million humans are estimated to be infected worldwide. Besides man, definitive hosts of Diphyllobothrium include piscivorous birds and mammals, which represent a significant zoonotic reservoir. The second intermediate hosts include both freshwater and marine fish, especially anadromous species such as salmonids. The zoonosis occurs most commonly in countries where the consumption of raw or marinated fish is a frequent practice. Due to the increasing popularity of dishes from uncooked fish, numerous cases of human infections have appeared recently, even in the most developed countries. Asmany as 14 valid species of Diphyllobothrium can cause human diphyllobothriosis, D. latum and D. nihonkaiense being the most important pathogens.
