The Increase of Exotic Zoonotic Helminth Infections: The Impact of Urbanization, Climate Change and Globalization.
TL;DR: Those helminth diseases which are increasing in endemic areas and consider their geographical spread into new regions within the framework of globalization, urbanization and climate change to determine the effect these variables are having on disease incidence, transmission and the associated challenges presented for public health initiatives, including control and elimination.

Characterization of the mitochondrial genome of Diphyllobothrium latum (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea) - implications for the phylogeny of eucestodes.
Joong Ki Park,Kyu Heon Kim,Seokha Kang,H. K. Jeon,J.-H. Kim,D. T. J. Littlewood,Keeseon S. Eom +6 more
TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome was determined for the fish tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum and high nodal support and phylogenetic congruence between different methods suggest that mt genomes may be of utility in resolving ordinal relationships within the cestodes.
First Record of Human Infection with the Tapeworm Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense in
TL;DR: The tapeworm Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense, originally described from Japan, was reported from a man in North America for the first time as mentioned in this paper, based on sequences of ribosomal (partial 18S rRNA) and mitochondrial (partial Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit I) genes of proglottids expelled from a Czech tourist who ate raw Pacific sockeye salmon from British Columbia, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salmon aquaculture and transmission of the fish tapeworm.
TL;DR: Information indicating that salmon aquaculture is involved in expanding the range of fish tapeworm infections in nature and to humans is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is the human-infecting Diphyllobothrium pacificum a valid species or just a South American population of the holarctic fish broad tapeworm, D. latum?
TL;DR: Using ITS2 gene sequences, the validity of the tapeworm Diphyllobothrium pacificum, infecting humans on the Pacific coast of South America and in Japan, was assessed andPhylogenetic trees constructed from ITS2 sequences show a markedly distant position of D.pacificum from other species analyzed and also indicate the possible paraphyly of Spirometra.

Current situation of human diphyllobothriasis in Europe.
J Dupouy-Camet,R Peduzzi +1 more
TL;DR: Evaluating the situation of Diphyllobothriasis during the past 20 years in Europe through the analysis of databases and search engines, and through a questionnaire sent to a network of European parasitologists and to microbiological laboratories located on the shores of the large Alpine lakes, has shown that several dozen cases have been reported each year in Finland and Sweden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosing ancient Diphyllobothriasis from Chinchorro mummies
Karl J. Reinhard,Otto Urban +1 more
TL;DR: This analysis of Chinchorro mummies from Chile provides the oldest evidence of D. pacificum directly associated with human mummies and finds that the size of the eggs in the mummies is smaller than other discoveries of the parasite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Case of megaloblastic anemia caused by intestinal taeniasis
TL;DR: The present case suggests that, in addition to other well-known parasitic agents, e.g., Diphyllobothrium latum and Giardia lamblia, Taenia infestation can also be a cause of intestinal vitamin B12 malabsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
New cases of human diphyllobothriosis in Patagonia, Argentine
TL;DR: The number of autochthonous human cases of diphyllobothriosis registered in Argentina increase to 18, with the addition of 4 new cases described in Patagonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diphyllobothrium latum infection after eating domestic salmon flesh
TL;DR: It is the expectation that the salmon associated tapeworm infections would be enlisted as one of the major parasitic problems with the growing consumption of salmon in Korea.
