Diphyllobothrium latum, the fish tapeworm, is acquired by eating infected raw fish and causes diphylothriasis. It has a complex life cycle involving crustaceans and fish as intermediate hosts. Humans and other fish-eating animals are definitive hosts. Symptoms are generally mild but may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Diagnosis is confirmed by finding the tapeworm's eggs in feces. Preventing raw or undercooked fish consumption and proper sanitation can control transmission.
