The occurrence of the tapeworm (Diphyllobothrium latum) in eastern Finland in 1975-81 was studied and findings were compared with previous results. The fish tapeworm has previously been shown to be a common health problem, especially in these parts of Finland. The prevalence rates of fish tapeworm eggs in large consecutive routine series of hospital laboratories have decreased to a level of 1-4% among the population. The results also indicate some possible differences in the rates and trends between different provinces in eastern Finland. The reasons for the occurrence and changing trends of the fish tapeworm in eastern Finland are discussed.
对1975 - 1981年芬兰东部绦虫（阔节裂头绦虫）的发生情况进行了研究，并将研究结果与之前的结果进行了比较。此前已表明，这种鱼绦虫是一个常见的健康问题，尤其是在芬兰的这些地区。在医院实验室连续大量的常规检测系列中，鱼绦虫虫卵在人群中的流行率已降至1% - 4%的水平。结果还表明，芬兰东部不同省份在发病率和趋势方面可能存在一些差异。文中讨论了芬兰东部鱼绦虫发生及变化趋势的原因。
