“…In Japan, the Spirurina type X larvae that infect humans from firefly squid ( Watasenia scintillans ) have been well studied, and there are many reports on the morphology, other characteristics, and the their host of the larvae ( Hasegawa, 1978 ; Ando et al, 1992 ; Hasegawa, 1993 ; Akao, 1994 ; Otaki et al, 1995 ; Miyake et al, 2004 ; Makino et al, 2014 ). In 2007, the species of this parasitic larva was confirmed by a report that the adult larva is Crassicauda giliakiana , a parasite of the kidney of the Baird's beaked whale ( Berardius bairdii ) ( Sugiyama et al, 2007 ).…”

“…In Japan, Spirurina type X larvae of parasitic nematoda is known to cause cutaneous creeping eruption and intestinal obstruction in humans ( Makino et al, 2014 ; Miyake et al, 2004 ). The main source of infection is firefly squids ( Watasenia scintillans ), caused by parasitic larval migration ( Ando et al, 1992 ).…”

The classification of “parasites” in the medical field is a challenging notion, a group which historically has included all eukaryotes exclusive of fungi that invade and derive resources from the human host. Since antiquity, humans have been identifying and documenting parasitic infections, and this collective catalog of parasitic agents has expanded considerably with technology. As our understanding of species boundaries and the use of molecular tools has evolved, so has our concept of the taxonomy of human parasites. Consequently, new species have been recognized while others have been relegated to synonyms. On the other hand, the decline of expertise in classical parasitology and limited curricula have led to a loss of awareness of many rarely encountered species. Here, we provide a comprehensive checklist of all reported eukaryotic organisms (excluding fungi and allied taxa) parasitizing humans resulting in 274 genus-group taxa and 848 species-group taxa. For each species, or genus where indicated, a concise summary of geographic distribution, natural hosts, route of transmission and site within human host, and vectored pathogens are presented. Ubiquitous, human-adapted species as well as very rare, incidental zoonotic organisms are discussed in this annotated checklist. We also provide a list of 79 excluded genera and species that have been previously reported as human parasites but are not believed to be true human parasites or represent misidentifications or taxonomic changes.

“…larvae can cause either creeping eruption or migratory panniculitis (2,10). In Japan, Spirurina type X larvae in scintillant squids, now identified as the larvae of Crassicauda giliakiana, cause cutaneous creeping eruptions (11). A zoonotic canine filaria, Dirofilaria repens, causes nodular lesions on the skin of humans from Europe to South Asia (12).…”
