Dibothriocephalus latus (formerly Diphyllobothrium latum)
The proglottids of Dibothriocephalus species are broader than they are tall, thus earning this worm the name "broad fish tapeworm". Note that the rosette-shaped uterus is often visible as a dark structure in the center of each proglottid. Images courtesy of Phong Duong.
