Presentation
Verminous granulomas were also present and incited a local eosinophilic response. With heavy infections, the raccoon developed a severe cirrhosis, and osseous metaplasia was found in the bile ducts of one mink. [doi.org]
The main goal of this book is to present the major trematodes and their corresponding diseases in the framework of modern parasitology, considering matters such as the application of novel techniques and analysis of data in the context of host-parasite [books.google.es]

Findings: The illness consisted of persistent upper abdominal pain, low grade fever, high blood eosinophil concentrations, and raised liver enzymes. After 10 days, opisthorchild-like eggs were found in stools. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Symptoms persisted for 3 days to 4 weeks without treatment, but responded rapidly to praziquantel therapy. Necropsy of golden hamsters infected with metacercariae from uneaten fish revealed adult flukes identified as Metorchis conjunctus. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In-depth studies are needed to clarify the current epidemiology of these helminth infections and to identify new and specific targets for both effective diagnosis and treatments. [books.google.es]
Treatment is difficult, but triclabendazole and nitazoxanide may be effective. [oxfordmedicine.com]
Etiology
Serologic results supported Baylisascaris procyonis as the cause of infection, but imaging of the worm before destruction did not support this organism as the etiologic agent. [journals.lww.com]

For the last 20 years, he has focused mostly on the diagnosis, molecular epidemiology, comparative genomics, and ecology of foodborne, waterborne, and zoonotic parasites and is mostly noted for his work on the genus Cryptosporidium. [books.google.es]
Abstract A case of severely symptomatic giardiasis in a school for the mentally retarded prompted an epidemiologic survey of the institution. The rate of parasitic infection in the children were just under 50%. [cmaj.ca]
Methods: We collected epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and serological data on 19 individuals who ate the sashimi and six who did not. Because of the suggestive clinical picture, we set out to recover helminth parasites from uneaten fish. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
