	abstract = {Five persons from 2 families residing at Miyama Town, Mie Prefecture, Japan, ingested fresh raw fish Oncorhynchus sp. on 9 May 1999 that was caught at Owase district in Mie. They all expelled diphyllobothriid cestodes 11-37 days after ingesting the fish. The parasites were morphologically identical to Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense Yamane et al. 1986. Five plerocercoids were detected from a portion of the fish. Nucleotide sequence of a region og the cytochrome coxidase subunit 1 gene ofm itochondrial {\{}DNA{\}} from an adult worm was identical with that from the plerocercoid. The fish was identified as Oncorhynchus masou ishikawae according to the nucleotide sequence of the nuclear ribosomal second internal transcribed spacer region {\{}II{\}} gene. This is the first record of D. nihonkaiense plerocercoids from O. m. ishikawae.},
