Syndromes and synonyms
chinese liver fluke, oriental liver flukes.
Agent
clonorchis sinensis
Reservoir
piscivorous (fish-eating) mammals
Vector
freshwater operculate snails (mainly parafossarulus sp. and bithynia sp.)
Transmission
consumption of raw or undercooked infected freshwater fish
Cycle
fish-eating mammals (including humans) shed c. sinensis eggs into the environment that are ingested by snails, where they develop into cercariae. the motile cercariane are released into water and infect freshwater fish and encyst in meat and skin as metacercariaes.
Incubation period
Depends on infecting dose. Larvae reach adult fluke stage in less than one month.
Clinical findings
loss of appetite, epigastric discomfort, rarely jaundice due to bile duct obstruction, cirrhosis, liver enlargement, ascites and edema.
Diagnostic tests
visualizing characteristic eggs in feces or duodenal fluid by microscopy.
Therapy
praziquantel; surgery in case of biliary obstruction
Prevention
proper cooking, or freezing of fish at 20 c for 7 days destroys the parasite. abandon use of human feces to fertilize fish ponds.
Epidemiology
clonorchiasis is the most common liver fluke in humans. estimates show that approximately 35 million people are infected world wide, of which 15 million are in china.
Communicability
None.
