“…A team of Korean CDCP (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has performed the control project for zoonotic trematodiases in the adjacent residents of 5 major rivers, i.e., Nakdong-gang (gang means river), Seomjin-gang, Geum-gang, Yeongsangang and Han-gang, in Korea [6,7]. The team also participated in the surveys on the infection status of infective stage (metacercariae: infection sources) of ZT in fishes from water systems of major rivers in Korea [8][9][10][11][12].…”

The infection status of digenetic trematode metacercariae (DTM) was investigated in fishes from coastal lakes in Gangwon-do, the Republic of Korea (Korea). All fishes collected in 5 lakes were examined with the artificial digestion method. More than 10 species, i.e., Metagonimus spp., Pygidiopsis summa, Centrocestus armatus, Metorchis orientalis, M. taiwanensis, Clinostomum complanatum, Echinostoma spp., Stictodora spp., Diplostomum sp. and Diplostomid No. 1. by Morita (1960), of DTM were detected in fishes from 5 coastal lakes in Gangwon-do. Metagonimus spp. metacercariae were found in 52 (41.3%) out of 126 sea rundace, Tribolodon hakonensis, from 5 lakes, and their density was 14.6 per fish infected. P. summa metacercariae were detected in 48 (84.2%) out of 57 mullets from 5 lakes, and their density was 316 per fish infected. C. armatus metacercariae were detected in 7 (14.6%) T. hakonensis and 3 (15.0%) Tridentiger brevispinis from Hyang-ho, and 5 (19.2%) Acanthogobius flavimanus from Gyeongpo-ho. Stictodora spp. metacercariae were found in 4 fish species, i.e., Tridentiger obscurus, Tridentiger trigonocephalus, Chelon haematocheilus, and Acanthogobius lactipes, from Gyeongpo-ho. Total 15 C. complanatum metacercariae were detected in 2 (9.1%) crucian carp, Carassius auratus, from Songji-ho. M. taiwanensis metacercariae were found in T. hakonensis from Hyang-ho and Gyeongpo-ho and in Pseudorasbora parva from Gyeongpo-ho. Total 11 M. orientalis metacercariae were detected in 3 (6.3%) T. hakonensis from Hyang-ho. From the above results, it was confirmed that various species of DTM are infected in fishes from coastal lakes in Gangwon-do, Korea.

Clonorchis sinensis is a carcinogenic liver fluke that causes clonorchiasis in humans. Clonorchiasis is prevalent in East Asian countries, and approximately 15–20 million individuals are estimated to be infected with this fluke globally. This review highlights the current status of C. sinensis and clonorchiasis in Korea from the epidemiological perspective involving the analysis of humans and intermediate hosts. Despite the recent decline in C. sinensis infection rate in Korea, C. sinensis infections remain endemic in 5 major river basins (Han-gang, Geum-gang, Seomjin-gang, Yeongsan-gang and Nakdong-gang; gang means river) with a high incidence of cholangiocarcinoma. A noticeable pattern involves increasing mild infections among patients diagnosed positive for C. sinensis eggs. The infection rate of C. sinensis metacercariae in the second intermediate host, freshwater fish, is also maintained at a substantial level. Thus, the One Health approach integrating different sectors and disciplines is recommended to accelerate and sustain control of C. sinensis, thereby leading to successful eradication. Health promotion via information dissemination and health education should be extended to prevent the consumption of raw freshwater fish by residents living in high-risk areas.
