Abstract

What is already known about this topic?: Dibothriocephalus dendriticus (D. dendriticus) is a recognized causative agent of diphyllobothriosis, a worldwide fish-borne zoonosis affecting up to 20 million people. It is predominantly distributed in circumboreal regions, and no human infections have been previously reported in China.

What is added by this report?: This is the first human case of diphyllobothriosis caused by D. dendriticus in China. We report the clinical and epidemiological findings, as well as the morphological and genetic characteristics of the parasite. Retrospective investigation suggests this was an autochthonous case acquired in China.

What are the implications for public health practice?: The increasing demand for fish products and raw foods poses a growing risk of diphyllobothriosis and potential economic losses. Attention should be paid to preventing D. dendriticus from becoming an emerging disease in China due to the globalization of food trade and global integration.

2023年11月，中国首例树状双胸菌头虫感染的人类双叶杆菌病病例。

关于这个话题我们已经知道了什么？树突双头虫（Dibothriocephalus dendriticus，树突双头虫）是一种公认的致病菌。树突双头虫病是一种世界性的鱼媒人畜共患病，影响多达2000万人。它主要分布在周边地区，中国以前没有人感染的报告。这份报告增加了什么内容？这是中国首例由树突单胞菌引起的人间双叶杆菌病病例。我们报告临床和流行病学的发现，以及寄生虫的形态和遗传特征。回顾性调查表明，这是一例在中国获得的本地病例。这对公共卫生实践有什么影响？对鱼类产品和生食品的需求不断增加，导致双螺杆菌病和潜在经济损失的风险日益增加。在食品贸易全球化和全球一体化的背景下，应注意防止树突菌在中国成为一种新兴疾病。
