Acuicultura y salud pública: La expansión de la difilobotriasis en Chile y el mundo
Recent clinical and epidemiológica! information, an analysis of the literature, and study of the technical aspects of Chilean salmon aquaculture indicate that this activity has the ability to expand the range of diphyllobothriasis caused by the fish tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum. Evidence for expa...
