Abstract

An interesting case of tapeworm infection in a human caused by Dipylidium caninum was recently diagnosed in the Illawarra area of N.S.W. Since it involved and adult (a 57-year-old woman) and recorded human infections are rare in the Australian literature, it was decided to describe this case of dipylidiasis.
