Intestinal Flukes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: World Class Parasites ((WCPA,volume 11))

Abstract

Around the world, 40 to 50 million people are currently estimated to be infected with food-borne intestinal trematodes (Fried et al., 2004), including at least 18 million people infected by fish-borne trematodes (Chai et al., 2005a). However, this may be an underestimate of the total number of humans infected. The number of trematode species, currently known to be involved, is 70 (Yu and Mott, 1994; Chai and Lee, 2002).
