Thick lines indicate divisions between the 8 regions of Japan (Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu and Okinawa). The total numbers of egg and proglottid samples and percentage of D. nihonkaiense infections are given per region. The percentages do not add up to 100% because of rounding. The numbers of egg/proglottid samples are given per prefecture. The prefectures of 13 (1.6%) of 825 patients were unknown; these patients were, therefore, not included. Inset map shows location of Japan in East Asia.
