Diphyllobothriasis occurs in areas where lakes and rivers coexist with human consumption of raw or undercooked freshwater fish. Such areas are found in the Northern Hemisphere (Europe, newly independent states of the former Soviet Union (NIS), North America, Asia) (particularly in Japan (because of Sushi or Sashimi)), Uganda, Peru (because of Ceviche) Chile.
[[Diphyllobothriasis]] occurs in areas where lakes and rivers coexist with human consumption of raw or undercooked freshwater fish. It is particularly common in Japan, Scandinavia, Siberia, with sporadic cases in North and South America.
 
The disease is rare in the United States, however, it was once more common and was referred to as "Jewish housewife's disease" because Jewish housewives preparing the traditional "gefilte fish" tended to taste the fish before it was cooked.

Overview

Diphyllobothriasis occurs in areas where lakes and rivers coexist with human consumption of raw or undercooked freshwater fish. It is particularly common in Japan, Scandinavia, Siberia, with sporadic cases in North and South America.

Prevalance

Worldwide, the prevalence of diphyllobothriasis was estimated in the early 1970s to affect 9 million humans globally. Most of the cases were in Europe and Asia with sporadic cases in America. More recent data indicate that 20 million people are infected worldwide but no recent estimation concerning the global prevalence of this parasitosis has been done.[1]

Incidence

Diphyllobothriasis is endemic in Japan and 100 cases are reported every year since the 1970s.[1]

Age

There is no age predilection for diphyllobothriasis.

Gender

Race

There is no racial predilection for diphyllobothriasis.

Developed Countries

It is endemic in Japan and Russia. Sporadic cases are reported in Europe and America.[1]

Developing Countries

Sporadic cases are reported in the developing countries of Asia. NO reports are present to suggest the presence of diphyllobothriasis in Africa.[1]
