A 5-year-old Japanese boy passed tapeworm strobila while he was living in Switzerland. During a short visit to Japan, he was successfully treated with a single dose of praziquantel. DNA sequences of ITS1, cox1 and nd3 genes from the tapeworm were compatible with those of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense rather than Diphyllobothrium latum, which is prevalent in Europe. The patient consumed imported salmon in Switzerland. This case highlights the globalization of D. nihonkaiense, which was once restricted to the Far East, and reflects the worldwide demand for seafood.
一名5岁日本男孩在瑞士生活期间排出了绦虫节片。在短暂访问日本期间，他仅服用一剂吡喹酮就成功治愈。该绦虫的ITS1、cox1和nd3基因的DNA序列与日本裂头绦虫相符，而非欧洲常见的阔节裂头绦虫。该患者在瑞士食用了进口三文鱼。此病例凸显了曾局限于远东地区的日本裂头绦虫的全球化现象，也反映了全球对海产品的需求。
