Diphyllobothrium latum and Diplogonoporus balaenopterae have been identified. In the study, four cases of presumably imported diphyllobothriasis in Spanish patients were appraised. Molecular diagnosis allowed us to identify 'exotic' fish tapeworms such as Diplogonoporus balaenopterae in one patient and Diphyllobothrium pacificum in the others.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Diphyllobothrium pacificumDiplogonoporus balaenopteraeEuropeSpainDiphyllobothriasisMolecular diagnosisMolecular diagnosis of diphyllobothriasis in Spain, most presumably acquired via imported fish, or sojourn abroad.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional25356331211-610.1002/2052-2975.282052-2975New microbes and new infectionsopen access
