Bertielliasis is the infection of ''Bertiella'' - a cestode tapeworm parasite that primarily infects nonhuman primates, rodents and Australian marsupials. Occasionally, human infections have been documented by one of two species: ''Bertiella studeri'', or ''Bertiella mucronata''. These infections present with symptoms similar to most tapeworm cases, and are frequently misdiagnosed. ''Bertiella'' transmission is through oribatid mites that are present in the soil of problem areas, and can be easily prevented by avoiding contact with nonhuman primates, rodents and soil in these areas. ==Agent (classification and taxonomy)== Phylum: Platyhelminthes, Class: Cestoda, Order: Cyclophyllidea, Family: Anoplocephalidae, Species: Of 29 different ''Bertiella'' species, only two can infect humans: ''Bertiella studeri'' (majority of human cases), and ''Bertiella mucronata''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bertielliasis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
