Abstract

The metacercariae of Pα， ragonimus z'loktsueηensis have recently been isolated in Korea from the crab host, Sesarma dehaani for the first time in 1970(Yokogawa et a1. , 1971). And later, house rats, Rattus norvegicus have also been ascertained to serve as definitive host of the fluke by Seo et a1. (1971) at the Nakdong & Sumjin River Deltas, Kyong-Sang Nam Do (Province). Up to the present time, therefore, two species of Paragonimus, such as Paragonimμs westermani and Paragoηimus z'loktsuenensis, have been reported in Korea. Meanwhile, three more species of Paragoηt'mμs， except the above two, such as P. oht'rai, P. miYazakU and P. sadoeηsis have been described in Japan. The possible occurrence of some other species of Paragonimus should be carefully taken into consideration. In this connection, the further taxonomic approaches are necessitated. In this sense, authors attempted to better recognize the morphology of metacercaria and to know the development of the adult worm in the experimentally infected mouse host.
