Abstract

The life cycle, classification, pathology and control of the lung fluke, Paragonimus westermani, has been studied. Research is presented on the distribution and prevalence of reservoir hosts and vectors for the parasite. Epidemiology of the disease, paragonimiasis, its diagnosis and therapy are discussed.
