Abstract
An epidemiological study for the intestinal trematode infection of the villagers was done in Koje-myon, Kochang-gun, Kyongsangnam-do, Korea in March, 1994. Of 116 stool specimens examined, total helminthic ova positive cases were 13 (11.2%) and cumulative ova positive cases 21 (18.1%): Echinostoma hortense 11 cases (9.5%), Metagonimus sp. 6 cases (5.2%), and Clonorchis sinensis 4 cases (3.4%).
After the treatment and purgation, variable numbers of E.
hortense, 6 to 227 per person, were collected from 7 echinostome egg positive cases, together with M. takahashii in 6 cases. Three adult flukes of E. cinetorchis were collected from one person and one Stellantchasmus falcatus was recovered from another case. This mountainous village was proved to be one of the endemic foci of echinostomiasis in Korea.
