Diphyllobothriidae
Sign in to saveDiphyllobothriidae is a family of Cestoda (tapeworms). Members of this family are gut parasites of vertebrates. In most species the definitive hosts are marine or aquatic mammals such as cetaceans and pinnipeds, the first intermediate host usually being a crustacean and the second intermediate a fish. The genus Diphyllobothrium is found as an adult in mammals and fish-eating birds, including the domestic cat. The genus Spirometra tends to have a land-dwelling or semi-aquatic vertebrate as its second intermediate host, with the adults usually occurring in felines.

Die Diphyllobothriidae (von altgr. di- ‚doppelt‘, phyllon ‚Blatt‘ und bothros ‚Grube‘) sind eine Familie der echten Bandwürmer, deren bekanntester Vertreter der Fischbandwurm ist. Sie wurden ursprünglich in die Ordnung der Pseudophyllidea eingeordnet, in der jüngeren Literatur jedoch in die Diphyllobothriidea. Der abgeplattete, blattförmige Scolex trägt zwei Sauggruben (Bothrien). An den Hals schließt sich ein deutlich segmentierter Körper an. Die Genitalöffnungen liegen in der Mitte der Unterseite der jeweiligen Proglottis. Der typische Entwicklungszyklus zeigt einen Wirtswechsel. Erster Zwischenwirt sind Weichtiere, zweiter Fische. Endwirte sind fischfressende Reptilien, Vögel und Säugetiere.
