Abstract

Sparganosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larvae (spargana) of the genus , which is widely distributed globally and threatens human health. More than 60 species of have already been identified, and over 2000 cases have been reported. This review summarizes the prevalence of humans, frogs, snakes, and other animals with spargana. Furthermore, the infection mode, distribution, and site are summarized and analyzed. We also describe the epidemiology, molecular diagnosis, and other aspects which are of considerable significance to preventing sparganum.
