Thirteen human cases of Diplogonoporus grandis infection have already been reported from Kochi Prefecture, and in this report, additional eight cases occurring between 1985 and 1988 are described. Since the first report on the human infection with D. grandis was given by Iijima and Kurimoto (1984) the total 130 human cases were recorded in Japan until 1988. The cases of human infection with this cestode were distributed widely in the coastal areas along the Pacific Ocean and the Japan Sea in the central and the western parts of Japan. In contrast to other regions, Kochi Prefecture exhibits apparently a marked increase in the incidence of the cases in recent years.
