Sparganosis is a zoonosis caused by the spargana (larvae) of Spirometra sp. (Diphyllobothriidae). Reptiles are particularly important vectors for the transmission of this parasite in Asia; however Diphyllobothriid tapeworms of the genus Spirometra are causative agents of sparganosis, food-borne zoonotic parasitic disease. They have been recorded in broad spectrum of hosts, including humans, in all continents except Antarctica. Spirometra tapeworms have been intensively studied in several Asia … 1. INTRODUCTION. The worldwide‐distributed pseudophyllidean tapeworms of the genus Spirometra inhabit the intestine of canids, felids and other mammals (Kavana et al., 2015, 2014; Le et al., 2017).The life‐cycle involves the crustaceans from Cyclops genus as the first intermediate host, amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals as the second intermediate hosts, carnivores such as dogs and Spirometra erinaceieuropaei (syn. S. erinacei or S. mansoni) is an intestinal tapeworm of wild and domesticated carnivores and is most commonly seen in Asia, whereas Spirometra mansonoides is mainly found in North America . Sparganosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the plerocercoids of the genus Spirometra. Plerocercoid infections The species page of 'Spirometra erinaceieuropaei'.

Despite considerable controversy concerning the taxonomy of species within the genus Spirometra, human sparganosis and spirometrosis mainly in Asia and Europe has long been confidently ascribed to Spirometra erinaceieuropaei.
