Sparganosis is one of the common zoonotic diseases caused by infection with the larval plerocercoids (spargana) of the cestode genus Spirometra. While this parasite distributes globally in canine and feline hosts, human infection is predominantly reported in East Asia, especially China, Korea, Japan, and Thailand. Maybe related to the behavior and food culture, this zoonotic disease is rather rare in South Asia to the Middle East.

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.

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.
