A neotype was selected out of the present adult specimens. The Asahi River at Takebo-cho became the type locality of M. yokogawai. [agris.fao.org]

According to the former report ( Seo et al., 1981 ), the egg positive rate was 28.5%, a figure very similar to the present study. [doi.org]

However, present results indicated that ducks, based on the findings of this study, are not suitable hosts for establishment of M. yokogawai infection because most flukes were expelled from duck's intestine within 14 days. [tmu.pure.elsevier.com]

• Fishing

  The infection rate and density of metacercariae in the fish were higher in eastern and western regions than in central region of the prefecture. [unboundmedicine.com]

  Three of 212 (1.4%) Ayu cultivated using the well water were infected, while 142 of 223 (63.7%) cultivated fishes were infected using river water. The infection rate and number of metacercariae per infected fish increased in late autum. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

  […] to 17th-Century Korean Mummy Feces of the Joseon Dynasty Jong Ha Hong, Min Seo, Chang Seok Oh, Jong-Yil Chai, Dong Hoon Shin Abstract Metagonimiasis is foodborne intestinal parasitism occurring by the definitive hosts' ingestion of raw or undercooked fish [bioone.org]

  The mean number of metacercariae in a fish was in the range from 0 to 29,604 and the mean number of the metacercariae in a fish was 640.3. 2. It was observed that the mean infection rate showed 46.4% in Gangweon-Do (= Province). [eurekamag.com]

  The cercariae then penetrate the skin or go under the scale of a fresh or brackish water fish and encyst as metacercariae in the tissue. The type of fish that serves as secondary host varies based on location. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Fatigue

  In heavily infected patients the infection can cause severe gastrointestinal troubles and easy fatiguability. [doi.org]

• Fever

  There were no other associated symptoms of vomiting, fever, pain abdomen and jaundice. However, it was difficult to ascertain the exact onset of the disease process as the patient was deaf and dumb since birth. [bioline.org.br]

  Neodiplostomum seoulense In patients infected with N. seoulense, acute abdominal pain, diarrhea, lethargy, fever, and weight loss may occur [ 4 ]. [doi.org]

• Sneezing

  The frequencies of sneezing or nasal rubbing were recorded. Histopathological evaluation was performed for eosinophil infiltrations in the tissues of nasal mucosa and skin. [jacionline.org]

  Conclusions Our results provide the first evidence of potential therapeutic effect of M. yokogawai in OVA-sensitized allergic rhinitis mice, suggesting that a Treg/Th2 reorganization may play a role in clinical course of allergic rhinitis. [jacionline.org]

• Vomiting

  There were no other associated symptoms of vomiting, fever, pain abdomen and jaundice. However, it was difficult to ascertain the exact onset of the disease process as the patient was deaf and dumb since birth. [bioline.org.br]

  The fifth patient had epigastric discomfort, indigestion, anorexia, dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting; these symtpoms became severer and she was hospitalized [ 129 ]. [doi.org]

• Suggestibility

  On examination of adult worms in the hamster's intestine, M. yokogawai was mainly located towards the anterior part of the intestine, unlike M. miyatai, suggesting that in mammalian host too, the parasites have site preference. [unboundmedicine.com]

  It is suggested that the endemicity of M. yokogawai infection along the Tamjin River has been reduced. To confirm this suggestion, the status of infection in snail and fish intermediate hosts should be investigated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Evidence also suggest that this parasite was present during the Yi dynasty. Life cycle The first intermediate hosts of Metagonimus yokogawai include freshwater snails Semisulcospira libertina, Semisulcospira coreana, and Semisulcospira reiniana. [owlapps.net]

Off-label This medication may not be approved by the FDA for the treatment of this condition. [drugs.com]

Treatment with hexylresorcinol failed to eradicate the infection, but subsequent use of tetrachloroethylene was successful and facilitated recovery of adult parasites, leading to the specific diagnosis of metagonimiasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although anti-microbial treatments have played a crucial part in the control of foodborne infections in the past, the emergence and spread of anti-microbial resistance render the existing treatments ineffective. [books.google.es]

Treatment Praziquantel is the drug of choice for treatment of metagonimiasis. Metagonimus yokogawai Life Cycle Adults release fully embryonated eggs each with a fully-developed miracidium, and eggs are passed in the host’s feces. [bionity.com]

Among the treated cases, 11 were cooperative in collection of diarrheic stools more than five consecutive times during 3-4 hr directly after the treatment. [doi.org]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Metagonimiasis is often good with proper administration of medication in a timely manner. [dovemed.com]

(Etiology) Metagonimiasis is caused by the infection of the intestine by the parasitic Metagonimus yokogawai flatworm. [dovemed.com]
