Hymenolepsis diminuta is a tapeworm which is an intestinal parasite of rats and mice. Rarely, through accidental ingestion of an infected arthropod, man can become the definitive host. This report documents, for the first time, that such infections occur in Jamaica, West Indies. The life cycle of the parasite and its treatment are also discussed.
微小膜壳绦虫是一种绦虫，是大鼠和小鼠的肠道寄生虫。很少情况下，人类会因意外摄入受感染的节肢动物而成为终宿主。本报告首次记录了西印度群岛牙买加发生的此类感染情况。文中还讨论了该寄生虫的生命周期及其治疗方法。
