Infection of an adult in Mie Prefecture, Japan by Bertiella studeri.
Two gravid strobila without scolex were passed by a 23-year-old male in Mie Prefecture, Japan. Morphological features were comparable to characteristics of Bertiella studeri. Although two children's cases have already been reported, this is the first case of an adult in Japan since the occurrence of B. studeri was proven in Japan.
