Overview
There is no known classification for diphyllobothriasis but it may be classified on the basis of the organisms causing it.
Classification
Diphyllobothriasis can be classified on the basis of various species responsible for it. The species of Diphyllobothrium involved in the development of Diphyllobothriasis are:[1][2]
- Diphyllobothrium latum (the fish or broad tapeworm)
- Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense
- Diphyllobothrium dendriticum
- Diphyllobothrium cameroni
- Diphyllobothrium cordatum
- Diphyllobothrium hians
- Diphyllobothrium lanceolatum
- Diphyllobothrium orcini
- Diphyllobothrium pacificum
- Diphyllobothrium stemmacephalum
- Diphyllobothrium scoticum
