Fish as a Cause of Diphyllobothriosis in the Population of Yakutia

Abstract High incidence of diphyllobothriosis in the middle reaches of the Lena river and all links of biocenotic relationships between potential intermediate, additional and definitive hosts prove the existence of a hotbed of D. latum in the study area. The circulation of the tapeworm follows the f...

Description
Summary:Abstract High incidence of diphyllobothriosis in the middle reaches of the Lena river and all links of biocenotic relationships between potential intermediate, additional and definitive hosts prove the existence of a hotbed of D. latum in the study area. The circulation of the tapeworm follows the following pattern: human, carnivorous domestic animals – copepods – Coregonus tugun — human, carnivorous domestic animals. The main factor in the transmission of the invasive species is the traditional consumption of insufficiently disinfected salted fish by the population.
