In October 2007, a woman in her early 30s presented, complaining of worm discharge in her stool. We identified it as Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense, and identified it by virtual enterography and virtual enteroscopy. It was treated by 1500 mg/day praziquantel orally. We think these methods, of pathology as well as capsule enteroscopy and enteroscopy, are useful for the searching of the small intestinal lesions. We hope these examinations will become more widespread with reference to these cases.

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
- Diphyllobothrium spp., commonly known as fish tapeworms, are the largest human tapeworms, capable of growing up to 25 meters in length.
- Humans serve as the definitive hosts for these tapeworms, which attach to the intestinal wall using bilateral grooves.
- Among the 14 species of Diphyllobothrium, D. latum and D. nihonkaiense are the most common causes of Dyphyllobothriosis, as illustrated by a case involving incidental findings during a colonoscopy.

Paleoparasitology is a discipline that applies existing conventional and molecular techniques to study parasites found in ancient ruins. This review focuses on the history of the discovery of parasites (mostly helminth eggs and larvae) in archaeological soil samples and mummies in Korea from the Three Kingdoms Period to the Joseon Dynasty (100 BCE-1910 CE). We also briefly review important milestones in global paleoparasitology.
