Abstract

In an attempt to clarify the epidemiological feature of distomiasis in Tongjin riverside area, the prevalence of distomiasis in the residents and infection rates of the metacercariae in fresh-water fishes were investigated at the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river from January to April 1984. The results obtained were summarized as follows: Out of a total of 931 fresh-water fishes which composed of 33 different species, 611 fishes (65.6 percent) of 31 species were found positive with digenetic trematode metacercariae of 16 different species, and there were some differences in infection rates of the metacercariae among the fishes in the3 parts of the river; 53.8 percent in upper, 80.7 percent in middle, and 61.0 percent in lower reaches, respectively. Infection rates of the metacercariae of Exorchis oviformis, Metagonimus yokogawai, Echinochasmus japonicus, Metorchis orientalis and Clonorchis sinensis in the fishes were 48 percent, 29 percent, 11 percent, 7.9 percent and 6.3 percent, respectively. The average number of the encysted larvae of Clonorchis found in fish body/gram showed 4.44 in Pseudorasbora parva, Gnathopogon coreanus (1.2), Microphysogobio yaluensis(0.76), Abbottina springeri(0.4), Acanthorhodeus asmussi (0.21) and Cultriculus eigenmanni (0.17), respectively. The average number of the metacercariae of Metagonimus found in fish body/gram disclosed 34.01 in Zacco platypus, Zacco temmincki (16.46), Carassius carassius (5.35), Moroco oxycephalus (1.54), Aphyocypris chinensis (1.5) and etc., respectively. Detection rates of the eggs of Clonorchis and Metagonimus among residents were 1.1 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively, out of a total 923 persons.
