We present a novel case of an intestinal cestode infection in a southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis). The cestode species Diphyllobothrium tetrapterum (syn. Diplogonoporus tetrapterus) was confirmed genetically. Stable isotope analysis of whiskers collected from the sea otter did not confirm the consumption of fish as the route of exposure.
我们报告了一例南海水獭（Enhydra lutris nereis）肠道绦虫感染的新病例。通过基因鉴定确认绦虫种类为四叶双槽绦虫（学名：Diphyllobothrium tetrapterum，同义词：Diplogonoporus tetrapterus）。对从海獭身上采集的胡须进行稳定同位素分析，未证实食用鱼类是感染途径。
