| [identification of species of diplogonoporus balaenopterae and d. grandis (cestoda, diphyllobothriidae)]. | comparative study of diplogonadal diphillobothriids from different species of whalebone whales and from man (japan) and analysis of literary data has made it possible to establish their identity. only the species diplogonoporus balaenopterae (lönnberg, 1892 capable of infecting whalebone whales, dogs and man can be regarded as really existing. the species d. grandis (blanchard, 1894) lühe, 1899 is its synonym. | 1986 | 3703574 |
| trace element content in two species of whale tapeworms, diphyllobothrium macroovatum and diplogonoporus balaenopterae. | trace elements in two species of whale tapeworms, diphyllobothrium macroovatum and diplogonoporus balaenopterae, were analysed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. six elements (fe, cu, zn, mn, cd, ca) were assayed from different regions of two tapeworms: scolex, neck, immature, mature and gravid proglottids. whole strobilae at different stages of maturity were also examined. the relationship between the trace element content and the physiological significance is discussed. | 1986 | 3776317 |
| the first human case of diplogonoporus balaenopterae (cestoda: diphyllobothriidae) infection in korea. | the first human case of diplogonoporus balaenopterae infection is reported in korea. the patient was a 41-year old male who passed a part of cestode strobila, about 1 m long, spontaneously in his stool. he used to eat raw marine fish when he drank alcohol. the worm was identified as d. balaenopterae after morhological observations and literature review. results of laboratory examination were within normal limits except for slight eosinophilia (6%) and extraordinarily high serum ig e level (10,18 ... | 1995 | 8528630 |
| diplogonoporiasis presumably introduced into spain: first confirmed case of human infection acquired outside the far east. | a 58-year-old man who was very fond of eating raw fish and had not left zaragoza province in spain in the last 20 years excreted a short chain of gravid proglottids. treatment with 50 mg/kg of paromomycin sulfate was divided into three doses, all given within the same day, followed by administration of a laxative at night. on days 1 and 2 post-treatment, several chains of degenerated proglottids were evacuated. only eggs were expelled on days 3 and 4. a long complete strobila including the scole ... | 1997 | 9311643 |
| diplogonoporiasis in japan: genetic analyses of five clinical isolates. | infection of the whale tapeworm diplogonoporus balaenopterae (diphyllobothriidae) is occasionally found in humans, especially among japanese. in the present study, we analysed the nucleotide sequences of the 18s rdna, its1 and cox1 genes of the immature and mature proglottids of diplogonoporus species recovered from five japanese patients. the nucleotide sequences of 18s rdna, its1 and cox1 showed little, if any, intraspecific divergence. phylogenetic analyses of several diphyllobothriid species ... | 2008 | 17980651 |
| complete mitochondrial genomes of diplogonoporus balaenopterae and diplogonoporus grandis (cestoda: diphyllobothriidae) and clarification of their taxonomic relationships. | although the diplogonadic human tapeworm, diplogonoporus grandis, has long been considered to be a synonym of the whale tapeworm, diplogonoporus balaenopterae, the identity of the both species at the complete mitochondrial genomes and nuclear dna levels has been not sufficiently undertaken to date. in the present study, to clarify the taxonomic relationships between d. balaenopterae and d. grandis at the molecular level, the complete mitochondrial genomes of both species were sequenced and compa ... | 2011 | 22079238 |
| rapid identification of nine species of diphyllobothriidean tapeworms by pyrosequencing. | the identification of diphyllobothriidean tapeworms (cestoda: diphyllobothriidea) that infect humans and intermediate/paratenic hosts is extremely difficult due to their morphological similarities, particularly in the case of diphyllobothrium and spirometra species. a pyrosequencing method for the molecular identification of pathogenic agents has recently been developed, but as of yet there have been no reports of pyrosequencing approaches that are able to discriminate among diphyllobothriidean ... | 2016 | 27853295 |
| molecular diagnosis of diphyllobothriasis in spain, most presumably acquired via imported fish, or sojourn abroad. | human diphyllobothriasis is sporadically detected in spain. diphyllobothrium latum and diplogonoporus balaenopterae have been identified. in the study, four cases of presumably imported diphyllobothriasis in spanish patients were appraised. molecular diagnosis allowed us to identify 'exotic' fish tapeworms such as diplogonoporus balaenopterae in one patient and diphyllobothrium pacificum in the others. | 2014 | 25356331 |
| complete sequence and characterization of the mitochondrial genome of diphyllobothrium stemmacephalum, the type species of genus diphyllobothrium (cestoda: diphyllobothriidae), using next generation sequencing. | we first constructed and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of diphyllobothrium stemmacephalum, the type species of genus diphyllobothrium, using next generation sequencing (ngs). the mitogenome of d. stemmacephalum was 13,716bp, including 12 protein-coding genes, 22 trna genes, 2 rrna genes and 2 longer intergenic non-coding regions, and has features common to mitogenomes of other cestodes. although it has been accepted that trna for serine (trns2(ucn)) in pla ... | 2017 | 28647499 |
