The proteome of extracellular vesicles of the lung fluke Paragonimus kellicotti produced in vitro and in the lung cyst [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Paragonimiasis is a zoonotic, food-borne trematode infection that affects 21 million people globally. Trematodes interact with their hosts via extracellular vesicles (EV) that carry protein and RNA cargo.

Exudative pleural effusion caused by lung fluke infection: A practical diagnostic approach
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023 Objectives: Pleural effusion caused by lung fluke is a rare etiology of exudative pleural effusion (EPE), which is often misdiagnosed or delayed. We aim to summarize the diagnosis and treatment course of EPE caused by lung fluke infection and put forward

Lung fluke (Paragonimus africanus) infects Nigerian red-capped mangabeys and causes respiratory disease [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015 Eggs of the lung fluke genus Paragonimus were detected in red-capped mangabeys (Cercocebus torquatus) in Nigeria. We assess the role of these primates as potential sylvatic hosts and the clinical effects of the parasite on monkeys.

Whole-genome sequence of the oriental lung fluke Paragonimus westermani. [PDF]
Gigascience, 2019 Abstract Background Foodborne infections caused by lung flukes of the genus Paragonimus are a significant and widespread public health problem in tropical areas. Approximately 50 Paragonimus species have been reported to infect animals and humans, but Paragonimus westermani is responsible for the bulk

Survival and infectivity of Paragonimus westermani Metacercariae in soy sauce–marinated crayfish [PDF]
Food and Waterborne ParasitologyParagonimus westermani, a zoonotic lung fluke, causes respiratory symptoms resembling tuberculosis. In Asia, human infections typically occur through the consumption of raw or marinated freshwater crabs or crayfish containing P. westermani metacercariae.
