Dipylidium caninum is a cestode that requires from the participation of an arthropod in its life cycle. This parasitosis occurs in dogs and cats, and occasionally in human beings. Human cases of D caninum infection have been reported in Europe, Philippines, China, Japan, Latin America and the United States; mostly children, one third of them being infants under 6 months old. The diagnosis of this disease is done by the parasitological study of the feces, observing the characteristics of the gravid proglottids. The treatment is performed by administering broad-spectrum anthelmintics. The authors report a case of a rare infection in a Mexican child.
犬复孔绦虫是一种绦虫，其生命周期需要节肢动物参与。这种寄生虫病发生在狗和猫身上，偶尔也会发生在人类身上。欧洲、菲律宾、中国、日本、拉丁美洲和美国都报告过人类感染犬复孔绦虫的病例；大多数是儿童，其中三分之一是6个月以下的婴儿。这种疾病的诊断是通过对粪便进行寄生虫学研究，观察孕节的特征来完成的。治疗方法是使用广谱驱虫药。作者报告了一例墨西哥儿童罕见感染的病例。
