Bertiella is a frequent parasite in animals, particularly in nonhuman primates. The infestation occurs in man by accidental ingestion of the intermediate host, an acarus containing the cysticercoid larva of Bertiella studeri or Bertiella mucronata. The diagnosis is based on the morphology of the gravid proglottis and eggs with pyriform embryo which is characteristic of the Anoplocephalinae. Human infection is asymptomatic or can induce minor non specific digestive disturbances and the niclosamide is effective in one single dose. The authors report the first case of human bertiellosis in Algeria in a student originating from Yemen.
贝氏绦虫是动物尤其是非人灵长类动物中常见的寄生虫。人类感染是由于意外摄入中间宿主，即含有斯氏贝氏绦虫或短尾贝氏绦虫囊尾蚴的螨类。诊断基于孕节和带有梨形胚胎的虫卵的形态，这是无钩绦虫亚科的特征。人类感染通常无症状，或可引发轻微的非特异性消化紊乱，而氯硝柳胺单剂量即可有效治疗。作者报告了阿尔及利亚首例人体贝氏绦虫病病例，患者是一名来自也门的学生。
