Even though the cetacean tapewormDiphyllobothriumstemmacephalumoccurs in both cold and warm waters, human infections and final host occurrences have been confined to temperate areas in and near Japan. We recently obtained a strobila of this cestode that was excreted from a harbor porpoise accidentally caught offshore of Hokkaido of northern Japan. Genetic analysis of 28S rDNA andcox1genes confirmed that the cestode wasD. stemmacephalum. Our finding sets the northernmost record ofD. stemmacephalumin the western Pacific, suggesting that the risk of human infections by this parasite in northern Japan deserves further attention.
