Regarding Diphyllobothrium tapeworms, an increased number of human cases of diphyllobothriasis due to Diphyllobothrium latum was recorded in Europe 48 new cases in France and Switzerland in 2001-2002, contracted by consuming freshwater fish from Leman lake (Dupouy-Camet and Peduzzi 2004 AFSSA 2004). Also, the consumption of seawater fish contaminated with plerocercoid larvae of marine Diphyllobothrium species (Chai et al. 2005) led to human diphyllobothriasis. For instance, D. pacificum (from sea-lions) infects humans in coastal zones of Chile,... [Pg.316]
