Abstract

The prevalence of fish-borne trematodes (FBT), including Clonorchis sinensis, is still high in riverside areas of the Republic of Korea. The author reviewed the detection and identification methods, differential keys, fish intermediate hosts, and morphological characteristics of FBT metacercariae. FBT metacercariae found in freshwater fish are classified mainly into 4 families, i.e., Opisthorchiidae, Heterophyidae, Echinostomatidae, and Clinostomidae. The metacercariae of C. sinensis, found in 40 species of freshwater fish, are elliptical and 0.15-0.17 × 0.13-0.15 mm in size, have nearly equal sized oral and ventral suckers, brownish pigment granules, and an O-shaped excretory bladder. Their general morphologies are similar to those of Metorchis orientalis (except in the thickness of the cyst wall). Metagonimus spp. (M. yokogawai, M. takahashii, and M. miyatai) metacercariae are subglobular or disc-shaped, and 0.14-0.16 mm in diameter. They have yellow-brownish pigment granules, a ventral sucker deflectively located from median, and a V-shaped excretory bladder. The metacercariae and fish intermediate hosts of Centrocestus armatus, Clinostomum complanatum, and 3 echinostomatid flukes (Echinostoma hortense, E. cinetorchis, and Echinochasmus japonicus) were summarized. FBT metacercariae detected in brackish water fish are mainly members of the Heterophyidae. The morphological characters, identification keys, and fish intermediate hosts of 7 species (Heterophyes nocens, Heterophyopsis continua, Pygidiopsis summa, Stellantchasmus falcatus, Stictodora fuscata, Stictodora lari, and Acanthotrema felis) were also reviewed. The contents treated in this study will provide assistance at the laboratory bench level to those working on recovery of metacercariae from fish hosts and identifying them.

INTRODUCTION

The fish-borne trematode (FBT) infections affect the health of more than 18 million people around the world, particularly in Asian countries. Humans are mainly infected with FBT when they eat raw or inadequately cooked fish contained infective larvae, metacercariae. These flukes provoke remarkable morbidity and cause serious damage to aquaculture, which is a valuable source of food and employment in developing countries. Freshwater and brackish water fish play a major role as the source of human infections with foodborne trematodes, which are receiving increasing attention as the information on their diversity and prevalence emerges in some Asian countries [1-3]. Whereas, some other kinds of animals, i.e., marine fish, mollusca, crustaceae, insects, amphibia and reptiles, act less commonly as the infection source or second intermediate hosts of trematodes. Accordingly, elimination of these parasites from the food supply, especially fish, is a very important work in epidemiological points of view.

The liver flukes, Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis spp. (not existing in Korea), have been known as the representative FBT. In addition, many species of intestinal flukes, mainly those belonging to the Heterophyidae and Echinostomatidae are also contracted to humans by eating raw fish. In the Republic of Korea, many species of FBT including C. sinensis have been reported. C. sinensis is still prevalent in riverside areas and is the most important helminth species in aspects of public health. About 11 species of the Heterophyidae and 3 species of the Echinostomatidae have been reported as the intestinal flukes infected by eating raw fish meat [2-5].

Recent trends of helminthic infection in the Republic of Korea are characterized by a remarkable decrease of soil-transmitted nematodiases and moderate endemicity of foodborne trematodiases. Especially, the prevalence of FBT infections, such as C. sinensis and intestinal flukes, has maintained at relatively high levels in riverside areas [5-7]. Therefore, it is worthwhile to pay attention to the infective stage and source of human infections with FBT in epidemiological points of view. In this paper, the FBT metacercariae of medical importance in the Republic of Korea are briefly reviewed to provide assistance at the laboratory bench level to those working for recovery of metacercariae from the second intermediate hosts.

DETECTION OF METACERCARIAE

Examination of FBT metacercariae in the second intermediate hosts is commonly done by 2 methods, i.e., muscle compression and pepsin-HCl artificial digestion techniques. The compression method is done by following step-by-step procedures.

Identify the species of fish.
Weigh and measure the size of each fish and record.
Take some of the flesh from different parts of fish (e.g., head, gill, muscles, fin, scale, intestine, other viscera).
Weigh each sample to estimate metacercarial density.
Compress each sample between 2 glass slides (repeat 2-3 times to increase the detection rate).
Observe and identify metacercariae under stereomicroscopy.
Count the number of metacercariae and calculate density.

On the other hand, the artificial digestion method is more complicated, and its step-by-step procedures are as follows.

Identify the species of fish.
Weigh and measure the size of each fish and record.
Take some of the flesh from different parts of fish (e.g., head, gill, muscles, fin, scale, viscera). Whole fish can be examined at one time.
Grind fish flesh one by one (or small fish can be grouped to be ground at one time) in a mortar with pestle.
Transfer the ground sample into a beaker containing artificial gastric juice (conc. HCl 8 ml + pepsin 1:10,000 6 g + distilled water 1,000 ml).
Mix well and place in a 37℃ incubator for 2 hr (or longer for hard parts like fin or scale) with occasional stirring.
Remove the larger particles (bones, scales, fins, and undigested materials) by the filtration (1 × 1 mm of mesh) of digested materials.
Add 0.85% saline, and let it stand for a while.
Discard supernatant very carefully and keep the sediment.
Repeat procedures 8 and 9 several times until the supernatant becomes clear.
Transfer the sediment a small bit into a Petri dish containing 6-7 ml physiological saline.
Observe and identify metacercariae using a stereomicroscope and light microscope (see Identification Method).
Isolate the metacercariae and put into a small dish.
Count the number of metacercariae of each fluke species.
Prepare for experimental infection to laboratory animals.
Store in a refrigerator until use.

Advantages of the compression method include being able to know the exact location and infection site of metacercariae in fish examined and economical without use of expensive reagents, such as pepsin. Whereas, in the digestion method, a large amount of samples can be dealt with, metacercariae can be isolated and purified, excellent morphologies can be obtained and more easily identified, and exact numbers of metacercariae can be prepared for experimental infections.

IDENTIFICATION OF METACERCARIAE

For the identification of FBT metacercariae, the following general procedures will be help. First of all, collect separately similar-shaped metacercariae based on the general feature in a small Petri dish. Second, move them with a spoid on a glass slide, cover a cover slip, and observe detailed morphology under a light microscope. Finally, identify the metacercariae based on characteristic features and dimensions. As the characteristic features, the shape of cysts, presence and size of suckers, and shape and contents of excretory bladder are important.

On the other hand, if the morphological features of metacercariae are not obvious and difficult to see, it should be excysted using the techniques described below. When the cyst wall is very thin, metacercariae can easily be liberated by giving only a slight pressure on the cover slip. Otherwise (when the cyst wall is thick and elastic), the artificial digestion methods are recommended. There are several published procedures for digesting the cyst and freeing the metacercariae. Basically, they involve incubating the metacercaiae in trypsin or bile at 37℃ for a brief interval [8-12].

Metacercariae in freshwater fish in the Republic of Korea

More than 16 species of digenetic trematode metacercariae in 7 families have been found in freshwater fish from the Republic of Korea (Table 1). Among them, 8 species in 4 families, Opisthorchiidae (Clonorchis sinensis), Heterophyidae (3 Metagonimus spp. and Centrocestus armatus), Echinostomatidae (Echinostoma hortense, E. cinetorchis, and Echinochasmus japonicus) and Clinostomidae (Clinostomum complanatum), are infected by eating raw flesh of freshwater fish in the Republic of Korea.

Morphological characters of metacercariae in freshwater fish

The metacercariae of C. sinensis are elliptical and 0.15-0.17 × 0.13-0.15 mm in size, have nearly equal sized oral and ventral suckers, brownish pigment granules, and an O-shaped excretory bladder. Their general morphologies are similar to those of Opisthorchis viverrini, which is prevalent in Thailand, Vietnam, and Lao PDR, except the size of cysts (0.19-0.25 × 0.15-0.22 mm) (Fig. 1) and to those of Metorchis orientalis (0.156-0.188 × 0.138-0.170 mm in size) except the thickness of the cyst wall (5-19 µm) (Fig. 2). The metacercariae of C. sinensis can be differentiated from those of Metagonimus spp., although the size and shape of cysts are similar each other; the size and location of suckers are somewhat different (Fig. 3).

A large number of Metagonimus sp. metacercariae are encysted in the fin and scale of fish intermediate hosts. They are subglobular or disc-shaped and 0.14-0.16 mm in diameter, and have yellow-brownish pigment granules, a ventral sucker deflectively located from median, and a V-shaped excretory bladder. The metacercariae of Metagonimus spp. cannot be differentiated morphologically at a species level. Due to host specificity, M. yokogawai metacercariae are dominantly collected from sweetfish, Plecoglossus altivelis, M. miyatai metacercariae are detected in the pale chub, Zacco platypus and dark chub, Z. terminckii, and M. takahashii metecercariae are found in the crucian carp, Carassius auratus (Fig. 4). The metacercariae of another heterophyid fluke, Centrocestus armatus, are frequently encysted in the viscera of fish hosts. They are elongated and elliptical, 0.20-0.25 × 0.10-0.12 mm in size, have 40-44 circumoral spines arranged in 2 rows around the oral sucker, and X-shaped excretory bladder (Fig. 5).

Three species of echinostome metacercariae, i.e. Echinostoma hortense, E. cinetorchis, and Echinochasmus japonicus, are found in freshwater fish. They are characterized by an oral sucker surrounded by prominent collar spines and excretory granules in 2 rows of excretory tubes. E. hortense metacercariae are globular or elliptical, 0.17-0.19 × 0.15-0.16 mm in size, and have a double layered cyst wall, 27-28 collar spines, and a ventral sucker transversely elliptical, 2-fold as larger as the oral sucker (Fig. 6). E. cinetorchis metacercariae are rounded, 0.13-0.14 mm in diameter, and have 37 collar spines around the oral sucker and a ventral sucker lying in the middle of the body and larger than the oral sucker (Fig. 7). E. japonicus metacercariae are mainly encysted in the gill filaments of fish intermediate hosts. They are elliptical and very small, 0.077-0.080 × 0.054-0.060 mm in size, have a transparent and double layered cyst wall, 24 dorsally interrupted collar spines, and a ventral sucker lying median at posterior 1/3 of the body and somewhat smaller than the oral sucker (Fig. 8).

The metacercariae of C. complanatum have a very thin cyst wall, and thus they are easily liberated from the cysts during the process of collection. The excysted metacercariae are big (3.28-4.27 × 0.94-1.46 mm), tongue-shaped, and progenetic (Fig. 9).

The differential keys for digenetic trematode metacercariae are intended to assist identification of metacercariae recovered in fish from the Republic of Korea. It is not complete to cover all members of trematodes. However, it can be helpful for the identification of FBT metacercariae encountered in fish in the Republic of Korea.

FISH HOSTS

FBT metacercariae encysted in freshwater fish mainly belong to 4 families, Opisthorchiidae, Heterophyidae, Echinostomatidae and Clinostomidae. Nowadays, C. sinensis of family Opisthorchiidae is the most important FBT in the Republic of Korea. The metacercariae of C. sinensis have been detected in 42 species of freshwater fish (31 genera in 6 families). However, according to the FishBase site in internet [12], Culter brevicauda and Erythroculter erythropterus are treated as the synonym and then their scientific names were changed into Chanodichthys erythropterus. Hemiculter eigenmanni is treated as the same species as H. leucisculus, and Acheilognathus lanceolata is changed into Tanakia lanceolata. Therefore, total 40 species of freshwater fish (31 genera in 6 families) act as the second intermediate hosts of C. sinensis in the Republic of Korea (Table 3). In China, including Taiwan, total 102 species of freshwater fish of 59 genera in 15 families have been reported as the second intermediate hosts for C. sinensis [30].

As members of the Heterophyidae, 3 Metagonimus spp. (M. yokogawai, M. takahashii, and M. miyatai) and Centrocestus armatus are prevalent in freshwater fish in the Republic of Korea, and their fish intermediate hosts are listed in Table 4. Only 3 fish species (Plecoglossus altivelis, Tribolodon taczanowskii, and Lateolabrax japonicus) have been reported as the second intermediate hosts for M. yokogawai, and 4 (Carassius auratus, P. altivelis, T. taczanowskii, and L. japonicus) and 2 fish species (Zacco platypus and Z. temminckii) listed as hosts for M. takahashii and M. miyatai, respectively. The fish intermediate hosts of M. yokogawai are the same species as those of M. takahashii, except C. auratus. M. miyatai revealed a host-specificity at the selection of the second intermediate host. Many fish species have been listed as hosts of unknown Metagonimus sp. Studies on differentiation of Metagonimus sp. metacercariae are needed.

There are 3 species of echinostomatid metacercariae, i.e., Echinostoma hortense, Echinostoma cinetorchis, and Echinochasmus japonicus, found from freshwater fish in the Republic of Korea (Table 5). Clinostomum complanatum metacercariae were found in 12 species of freshwater fish, Acheilognathus koreensis, Acheilognathus rhombea (= A rhombeus), Acheilognathus yamatsutae, Carassius auratus, Cobitis sinensis, Microphysogobio yaluensis, Pseudorasbora parva, Pungtungia herzi, Rhodeus uyekii, Squalidus chankaesis tsuchigae (= S. gracilis gracilis), Squalidus gracilis maejimae, and Zacco temminkii, as reported by Chung et al. [49].

FBT metacercariae detected in brackish water fish are mainly those of the Heterophyidae, including Heterophyes nocens, Heterophyopsis continua, Pygidiopsis summa, Stellantchasmus falcatus, Stictodora fuscata, S. lari, and Acanthotrema felis. Their second intermediate hosts are designated in Table 6.

CONCLUSION

The detection and identification methods, differential keys, the second intermediate hosts, and morphological characteristics of fish-borne zoonotic trematode metacercariae in the Republic of Korea were briefly reviewed. The items treated in this paper will be useful to understand the epidemiology of fish-borne trematodiasis in the Republic of Korea, and to provide assistance at the laboratory bench level to those who work on metacercariae in fish hosts.

Fish-borne Zoonotic Trematode Metacercariae in the Republic of Korea

Fig. 1 Metacercariae of Clonorchis sinensis (A: Korea) and Opisthorchis viverrini (B: Lao PDR). They have morphological similarities, such as elliptical shape, nearly equal sized oral and ventral suckers, brownish pigment granules, and an O-shaped excretory bladder. (C) The metacercaria of C. sinensis (upper) is comparatively smaller than that of O. viverrini (lower). Scale bar = 100 µm.

Fig. 2 Metacercariae of Clonorchis sinensis (A) and Metorchis orientalis (B). (C) They are morphologically very similar except the thickness of the cyst wall. M. orientalis metacercaria (lower) is globular, 0.16-0.18 mm in diameter with a double layered cyst wall (outer cyst wall being 4 times as thick as that of C. sinensis; upper), and have nearly equal sized oral and ventral suckers and an O-shaped excretory bladder. Scale bar = 100 µm .

Fig. 3 Metacercariae of Clonorchis sinensis (A) and Metagonimus sp. (B). (C) They are similar in size, and have yellow-brownish pigment granules in the body. However, the size of the ventral sucker and excretory bladder are somewhat different. Scale bar = 100 µm.

Fig. 4 Metagonimus spp. metacercariae. (A) Numerous metacercariae of M. yokogawai encysted on a scale of sweetfish, Plecoglossus altivelis. Scale bar = 200 µm. (B) A M. yokogawai metacercaria detected from a sweetfish. Scale bar = 100 µm. (C) A M. miyatai metacercaria collected from a pale chub, Zacco platypus. Scale bar = 100 µm. (D) A M. takahashii metacercaria detected from a crucian carp, Carassius auratus. They are subglobular or disc-shaped, and have yellow brownish pigment granules, a ventral sucker deflectively located from median and a V-shaped excretory bladder. Scale bar = 100 µm.

Fig. 5 (A) Centrocestus armatus metacercariae encysted in the viscera of the pale chub, Z. platypus. (B) They are elongated elliptical and have 40-44 circumoral spines around the oral sucker arranged in 2 rows and an X-shaped excretory bladder. Scale bar = 100 µm.

Fig. 6 (A) Echinostoma hortense metacercaria detected from a yellowfin goby, Acanthogobius flavimanus. It is globular or elliptical in shape, have a double layered cyst wall, 27-28 collar spines and a ventral sucker transversely elliptical, 2-fold as larger as the oral sucker. Scale bar = 100 µm.

Fig. 7 Echinostoma cinetorchis metacercariae colleceted from a muddy loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus. They are rounded and have 37 collar spines around the oral sucker and a ventral sucker lying in the middle of the body and being larger than the oral sucker. Scale bar = 50 µm.

Fig. 8 (A) Echinochasmus japonicus metacercariae encysted on the gills of Pseudorasbora parva. (B) They are elliptical and very small, have a transparent and double layered cyst wall, 24 dorsally interrupted collar spines, and a ventral sucker lying median at posterior 1/3 of the body. Scale bars = 50 µm.

Fig. 9 Excysted metacercaria of Clinostomum complanatum found from a short barbel gudgeon, Squalidus japonicus coreanus (Semichon's acetocarmin stained), and is big and progenetic. It has a very thin cyst wall, and thus it is easily liberated from the cyst during the process of collection. Scale bar = 100 µm.

Fig. 10 (A) Heterophyes nocens metacercaria detected from a yellowfin goby, A. flavimanus. It is round or elliptical, and has brownish pigment scattered throughout body, a ventral sucker larger than the oral sucker, an elliptical genital sucker lying closely right lateral posteriorly to the ventral sucker, and an O-shaped excretory bladder. Scale bar = 100 µm. (B) Heterophyopsis continua metacercaria collected from a yellowfin goby. It is rounded, and has a thick cyst wall (about 6 µm thickness), a ventral sucker larger than the oral sucker, an elliptical genital sucker lying dextroposteriorly to the ventral sucker, and a Y-shaped excretory bladder. Scale bar = 100 µm.

Fig. 11 (A) Pygidiopsis summa metacercaria detected from a mullet, Mugil cephalus. It is elliptical, and has a pair of eyespots, a genital apparatus lying to the dextroanterior margin of the ventral sucker and an X-shaped excretory bladder. Scale bar = 100 µm. (B) Stellantchasmus falcatus metacercaria detected from a mullet.
