Human acanthocephaliasis is a zoonotic parasitic infection with acanthocephalan species. Reports documenting human infection with acanthocephalans are relatively rare in the literature. Nonetheless, man has been infected with acanthocephalans since ancient times. Despite their economic and medical significance, acanthocephalans were found to be good indicators of environmental pollution. This review summarizes current knowledge of acanthocephalans as human parasites and their beneficial uses.

“…Moniliformis is a rodent parasite of cosmopolitan distribution. It has been reported in man in different parts of the world (Moayedi et al, 1971), including Nigeria (Ikeh et al, 1992, Anosike et al, 2000. Of worry is the involvement of rodents and their allies in emergence or re-emergence of human and animal diseases.…”

Acanthacephala is a phylum of parasitic pseudocoelamates that infect a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts and can cause zoonotic infections in humans. The zoologic literature is quite rich and diverse, however the human-centric literature is sparse and sporadically reported over the past 70 years. Causal agents of acanthacephaliasis in humans are reviewed as well as their biology and life cycle. This review provides the first consolidated and summarized report of human cases of acanthacephaliasis based on English language publications, including epidemiology, clinical presentation, treatment, and diagnosis and identification.
