Research Abstract |
Two methods for diagnosis of Eurytrema pancreaticum and E. coelomaticum, called nylon-mesh filtration egg detection method and coproantigen detection method, were developed. DNA analysis on the trematodes collected in Japan, Brazil and Vietnam revealed that the two species of Eurytrema are the independent species, however, they could not be distinguished each other completely by their morphology. For treatment of the infection, it was found that one oral administration with 25 mg/kg of praziquantel was effective.
