Abstract

<p>Human infections with poorly known acanthocephalans (Corynosoma spp.), that use pinniped mammals as final hosts, have been found from Hokkaido, and reported in gastroenterological and parasitological journals one after another. In both reports, this parasite zoonosis represented common characters found from small intestines with a relatively long latent period. Further investigations, including understanding the background of increased infection and monitoring of future trends, are needed to establish appropriate measures and prevention. </p>
