Foodborne Trematodes: Paragonimus and Fasciola

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Foodborne Parasites

Part of the book series: Food Microbiology and Food Safety ((RESDEV))

Abstract

Digenetic trematodes comprise one of the most common groups of parasitic worms. Over a hundred species of digenetic trematodes have been recorded from human hosts. In the present chapter, trematodes of two genera, Paragonimus and Fasciola, will be discussed in detail including their geographic distribution, life cycles, epidemiology, and clinical aspects of disease. Knowledge of the transmission and development of the parasites is necessary to control the trematode populations and to prevent their respective diseases. Control and eradication of the diseases can be achieved through treatment, improved sanitation and agricultural practices, and cjanges in cultural and food practices.
