(previously known as ) infection is not common in Hong Kong. is a fish-borne cestode parasite that infects humans after consuming raw or insufficiently cooked fish containing plerocercoids. We reported a case of infection in a 40-year-old woman who presented with a complaint of epigastric pain and diarrhea.

- Diphyllobothriasis is a human parasitic infection common in the Northern Hemisphere, primarily linked to eating infected fish like pike and perch.
- The study highlights the local emergence of this infection in a popular tourist area in Central Europe.
- This finding suggests that the parasite has recently colonized the region, raising potential health concerns for tourists and locals alike.

Diphyllobothriosis, a fish-borne zoonosis in South America, is mainly caused by the Pacific broad tapeworm Adenocephalus pacificus Nybelin, 1931, a parasite of considerable concern in fishery resources due to its impact on public health. A new diphyllobothrid, Diphyllobothrium sprakeri Hernández-Orts et al. Parasites Vectors 14:219, 2021, was recently described from sea lions from the Pacific Coast, but marine fish acting as intermediate hosts are unknown.

The incidence of human diphyllobothriasis is expected to rise amidst the current global popularity of Japanese cuisine, such as sushi, which contains raw fish. We report a case of a 10-year-old boy with a diphyllobothriasis infection acquired via sushi consumption. The patient was otherwise healthy, exhibited no symptoms, and was successfully treated with a single dose of 10 mg/kg praziquantel.

Article Synopsis
- Between 1898 and 1940, diphyllobothriasis cases in Argentina were primarily found in European immigrants, but the first local case emerged in 1982, leading to a total of 68 reported cases, mostly autochthonous.
- This study aims to update diphyllobothriasis information in Argentina by analyzing new cases and assessing the disease's epidemiological significance, focusing on infections from freshwater salmonids in Northern Patagonia.
- The rising local population, increasing definitive hosts, and growing popularity of consuming raw fish dishes suggest a potential rise in diphyllobothriasis incidents in the region.
