The tapeworm involved in this condition comes from the genus Spirometra, which is from the family diphylllobothriidae . The condition is sometimes referred to as spirometrosis or sparganum infection. Another term for the condition, larval diphylllobothriasis, is obsolete and no longer used. After it is named tapeworm, which causes the state of the Spirometer Masoni. In his honor was also named the second tapeworm, which was discovered in 1935, Spirometra Mansonoides. There is a third species, the Spirometra proliferum, which can be reproduced and multiply in the body, although this particular strain is extremely rare.
The most common way as contractual sparganosis is the drinking of contaminated water. It can also be caught to eat meat infected animal, usually frog or snake.
