“…Hernández-Chea et al (2017) noted two different patterns of papillae around the ventral sucker in these metacercariae, but sequences from the different types intermingled in phylogenetic trees. Lenis et al (2018) added morphological and molecular data from Colombia, including the type locality for P. caliensis. They also found some morphological variation that was not correlated with a molecular phylogeny.…”

“…Nor is it known whether the species can infect humans. Lenis et al (2018) noted that it can be difficult to distinguish P. caliensis from P. mexicanus, but that molecular data should be used for this purpose.…”

The title of this article refers to Table 1 in Zhou (2022, Infectious diseases of poverty: progress achieved during the decade gone and perspectives for the future. Infectious Diseases of Poverty 11, 1), in which it is indicated that Paragonimus species, like many other foodborne trematodes, are ancient pathogens that are also re-emerging to cause disease in modern times. This article provides a general overview of Paragonimus species and the disease they cause. This is followed by comments on several specific topics of current interest: taxonomy and distribution of members of the genus; details of the life cycle; global and regional prevalence of paragonimiasis; genomics of lung flukes and possible effects of global environmental change. Unresolved questions relating to these topics are discussed and gaps in knowledge identified.

“… Aroapyrgus colombiensis is distributed in the Magdalena–Cauca basin and inhabits small lotic systems with abundant stretches of slow water and decomposing dead leaves ( Linares et al 2018 ). It has been reported as a host for Paragonimus caliensis Little, 1968 in Valle del Cauca ( Malek and Little 1971 ) and Antioquia ( Lenis et al 2018 ). Poecilia caucana , which is commonly called Pipón, Piponcita, or Cauca Molly, is distributed in the hydrographic slopes of the Pacific and the Caribbean, especially in the Magdalena–Cauca basin ( Castellanos-Morales et al 2011 ; Martínez et al 2016 ; Mojica et al 2018 ; Ruiz-Guerra and Echeverry-Galvis 2019 ).…”

The present study describes Oligogonotylus andinussp. nov. and its life cycle from a rural fish farm in Sopetrán, Antioquia, Colombia. The endemic species of snail Aroapyrgus colombiensis and the fishes Poecilia caucana and Andinoacara latifrons are identified as the first intermediate host, the second intermediate host and the definitive host, respectively. The new species was defined through an integrative approach, combining the traditional morphology of its developmental stages with molecular analyses of the markers ITS2 from ribosomal DNA and COI from mitochondrial DNA. This new species can be distinguished from its congeners by genetic divergence, the position of the vitelline fields, and the number of gonotyls. This work represents the first report of a species of this genus in South America.

“…In different studies Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) has been used to study the surface topography of tegument of a number of species in the family paramphistomatidae [16][17][18][19][20]. However, there is not such study on the genus Explanatum so we decided to use a few of the collected samples for gross microscopic, histomorphological evaluation as well as, and SEM.…”

Amphistomiasis is caused by different species of trematodes in the family paramphistomatidae and is one of the neglected parasitic diseases of livestock. Amphistomiasis has a wide geographic distribution, especially in subtropical and tropical regions. Although adult stage of most of the amphistomes are seen in the rumen and reticulum of ruminants, but sometimes can be seen in bile ducts too. A few parasites were collected from the bile ducts of a native cattle from the Kerman slaughterhouse, Kerman Province, southeastern Iran, and samples were studied by histomorphological as well as, Scanning Electron Microscopy. The worms were identified as Explanatum explanatum using identification keys and SEM. This trematode has been identified in livestock from only two other provinces of Iran but this is the first report of it in Kerman Province. Specific epidemiological studies with exact slaughter inspections are needed to recognize the extent of the parasite prevalence in native animals of Iran.
