Taenia martis, a tapeworm harbored in the intestine of mustelids, is a rarely
encountered zoonotic cysticercosis pathogen. The larval stage closely resembles
the Taenia solium cysticercus, but the natural host and thus the epidemiology of
the disease is different. We here report a human eye infection diagnosed
molecularly in a previously healthy female German patient. The case represents
the third human infection described worldwide; the two previous cases were also
European, involving eye and brain.
