Inflammatory Responses to Opisthorchis viverrini Infection in Animal Models: A comparison between susceptible and non-susceptible hosts in different anatomical locations

Open Veterinary Journal
Background: Inflammation caused by Opisthorchis viverrini infection increases the risk of cholangitis, cholecystitis, and lead to bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma or CCA). However, only certain infected individuals are susceptible to CCA, suggesting

Hight prevalent of Opisthorchis viverrini infection and coincident Haplorchis metacercariae in cyprinid fishes in upper northeastern region of Thailand

Parasite Epidemiology and Control
Cyprinid fishes are commonly acted as second intermediate hosts of Opisthorchis viverrini and Haplorchis spp. This research investigated the prevalence and intensity of both parasites in cyprinid species. This process is regularly used as a guideline for
