Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense Infections in a Family
Diphyllobothrium latum and Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense are morphologically similar to each other, and only genetic method can differentiate clearly between the 2 species. A strobila of diphyllobothriid tapeworm discharged from a 7-year-old boy was analyzed to identify the species by mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene sequencing. He and his family (total 4 persons) ate sl...
متن کاملA 2-year-old girl with Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense infection treated with oral praziquantel and a laxative.
We report a case of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense infection in a 2-year-old Japanese girl. When infection occurs in early childhood, it is necessary to offer supportive care in addition to standard treatment with oral praziquantel or with of a duodenal tube using a radiopaque contrast medium. We treated D. nihonkaiense infection in a 2-year-old girl successfully treated with oral praziquantel a...
متن کاملThree Cases of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense Infection in Korea
Until 2012, a total of 48 cases of diphyllobothriasis had been reported in Korea, all of which were morphologically identified as Diphyllobothrium latum. However, some of these specimens were analyzed by nucleotide sequencing of the mitochondrial cox1 gene, which showed that all were D. nihonkaiense, not D. latum. After that, 3 further cases of diphyllobothriasis were confirmed as D. nihonkaien...
متن کاملTwo Human Cases of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense Infection in Korea
Diphyllobothrium latum and Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense are the 2 reported main causes of human diphyllobothriasis in the Republic of Korea. However, the differentiation of these 2 species based on morphologic features alone is difficult. The authors used nucleotide sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene to diagnose Diphyllobothrium spp. Two patients visited...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense in Humans, China
The cause of diphyllobothriosis in 5 persons in Harbin and Shanghai, China, during 2008-2011, initially attributed to the tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum, was confirmed as D. nihonkaiense by using molecular analysis of expelled proglottids. The use of morphologic characteristics alone to identify this organism was inadequate and led to misidentification of the species.
