Presentation
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]

That's why we want to get the word out.“ Paragonimiasis causes fever, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath and extreme fatigue. The infection is generally not fatal, and it is easily treated if properly diagnosed. But the illness is so unusual [coursehero.com]
However, others develop abdominal pain, fever, and symptoms that are similar to tuberculosis. [verywellhealth.com]
Treatment
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]
Treatment involves taking the prescription medications triclabendazole or praziquantel. Potentially Infected Food Raw or undercooked freshwater crab or crayfish can contain Paragonimus. [verywellhealth.com]

Epidemiology
The confirmation of P. caliensis as a separate species from P. mexicanus raises several questions about the ecology, biological diversity, and epidemiology of the genus Paragonimus in Costa Rica. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
The dissemination and familiarization of the results of the present study by the public health government agencies is important for implementing preventive measures or programs. [parasitol.kr]
