  • Title: [Human infection due to Bertiella sp (cestode: Anoplocephalidae) in a man originating from Yemen in Algeria].
    Author: Achir I, Zaït H, Hamrioui B.
    Journal: Bull Soc Pathol Exot; 2008 Apr; 101(2):107-8. PubMed ID: 18543702.
    Abstract:
    Bertiella is a frequent parasite in animals, particularly in nonhuman primates. The infestation occurs in man by accidental ingestion of the intermediate host, an acarus containing the cysticercoid larva of Bertiella studeri or Bertiella mucronata. The diagnosis is based on the morphology of the gravid proglottis and eggs with pyriform embryo which is characteristic of the Anoplocephalinae. Human infection is asymptomatic or can induce minor non specific digestive disturbances and the niclosamide is effective in one single dose. The authors report the first case of human bertiellosis in Algeria in a student originating from Yemen.
