Large Tapeworms Identified in Alaskan-Caught Salmon
A
Centers for Disease Control study
recently identified Japanese tapeworms in salmon caught off the North
Alaskan coast and the discovery should have American salmon lovers
worried.
The tapeworm, known
as Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense, primarily infects fish but can live
within humans and other mammals as well. It has caused 2,000 infections
in humans in northeastern Asia since 2008, according to
The Washington Post, and
now researchers are concerned that people who eat raw salmon caught in
North America may be at risk of contracting the tapeworm infections,
too.
