Diphyllobothrium dendriticum is a large pseudophyllid cestode of the family Diphyllobothriidae.[1]
For many years D. dendriticum infection was neglected.[1] Diphyllobothriasis is not a life-threatening disease and most human cases are mild or even asymptomatic. The original distribution of D. dendriticum is circumboreal, but it was also found in Argentina and Chile.[2][3]
