<unk>  is a parasitic nematode which causes intestinal<unk> sis.  This sometimes fatal disease was first discovered in Northern Luzon, Philippines in 1964.  Cases have also been reported from China, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, Lao PDR, Taiwan and Thailand.  Cases diagnosed in Italy and Spain were believed to be acquired abroad, with one case possibly contracted in Colombia. The natural life cycle of C.<unk>  is believed to involve fish as intermediate hosts, and fish-eating birds as definitive hosts.  Humans acquire C.<unk>  by eating small species of infested fish whole and raw.
