Paragonimiasis

  • Chapter
Food-Borne Parasitic Zoonoses

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

Abstract

Paragonimiasis is the disease caused by lungflukes of the genus Paragonimus. Despite that fact that some 293 million people are at risk of paragonimiasis (Keiser and Utzinger, 2005), and several million are actually infected, the condition is not likely to feature in the curriculum of medical colleges in economically developed countries.
