Abstract
Abstract Fluke infections are zoonoses (diseases of animals); humans are ‘accidentally’ infected by eating contaminated foods. In some areas, huge numbers of individuals are infected with lung or liver flukes. The adult worms produce symptoms by their presence in bile ducts (Chlonorchis, Opisthorchis and Fasciola) or lung tissue (Paragonimus). The typical patient is not a tourist but an indigenous individual. Diagnosis is by finding the ova or by serological tests. Treatment is highly effective.
