In the present study, molecular, morphological and phylogenetic tools have been used to characterize two populations of Paragonimus located at west of Medellin, Antioquia and at Pichinde, Valle del Cauca (type locality of P. caliensis), Colombia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thus, the present study is the first to confirm that the crab species H. guayaquilensis is the second intermediate host of P. mexicanus in Manabí Province, Ecuador. [parasitol.kr]

Treatment involves taking the prescription medications triclabendazole or praziquantel. Potentially Infected Food Raw or undercooked freshwater crab or crayfish can contain Paragonimus. [verywellhealth.com]

Then, the amplicons with or without enzymatic treatment were separated by electrophoresis on 2% (w/v) agarose gels. [parasitol.kr]

Once the diagnosis is made, effective treatment for paragonimiasis is available from a physician. Image: Left: Eggs of Paragonimus sp. taken from a lung biopsy stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). These eggs measured 80-90 µm by 40-45 µm. [cdc.gov]
