[Survey On Encysted Cercariae Of Trematodes From Fresh-Water Fishes In Mangyeong Riverside Area]

In order to clarify infestation pattern for the encysted larvae of digenetic trematodes from fresh-water fishes, this survey was carried out from March to September, 1983. A total of 380 fishes of 32 species were collected with netting at the three reaches, upper, middle and lower in Mangyeong riverside area. After the fishes were dissected into small scraps, they were pressed under cover glass and examined for the presence of those of digenetic trematodes with a microscope. The results obtained were as follows: Out of a total of 380 fishes inspected, 320 fishes (84 %) from 31 species were found positive with digenetic trematode metacercariae; more than 10 species of the metacercariae were detected in Pseudorasbora parva; Gnathopogon majimae, Microphysogobio yaluensis, Cultriculus eigenmanni and Gnathopogon coreanus (more than 8 species); Aphyocypris chinensis(8 species) and etc. respectively. Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae were found positive from 93 fishes (25 %) from 12 species detection rates in other species of digenetic trematode metacercariae from various fishes were; Exorchis oviformis, 261 fishes (57 %) from 28 species; Cyathocotyle orientalis, 47 fishes (12 %) from 12 species; Metorchis orientalis, 21 fishes (6 %) from 12 species; Metagonimus yokogawai, 164 fishes (43 %) from 26 species; Pseudexorchis major, 71 fishes (19 %) from 18 species; Metacercaria hasegawai, 77 fishes (20 %) from 25 species; Centrocestus armatus, 24 fishes (6 %) from 7 species; Echinochasmus japonicus, 2 fishes (0.5 %) from 2 species, and unidentified species, 34 fishes (9 %) from 15 species respectively. The sums of average number of the encysted larvae of all species found in fish body/gram showed 83 in P. parva, Cobitis taenia (74.2), A. chinensis (28.5), Pseudoperilampus uyekii (26.6), G. majimae (19.6) and etc. respectively and the average peak number of each metacercaria in fish body/gram showed 21.7 C. sinensis, 24 E. oviformis, 15.3 M. orientalis and 6.1 E. japonicus in P. parva; 42.7 C. orientalis and 25.1 M. yokogawai in C. taenia; 8.3 C. armatus and 8.3 M. hasegawai in P. uyekii; 6.3 P. major in Carassius carassius, and 2.9 unidentified species in G. majimae respectively.

[Survey On Encysted Cercaria Of Trematodes From Fresh-Water Fishes In Tongjin Riverside Areas In Korea]

In an attempt to clarify the epidemiological feature of distomiasis in Tongjin riverside area, the prevalence of distomiasis in the residents and infection rates of the metacercariae in fresh-water fishes were investigated at the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river from January to April 1984. The results obtained were summarized as follows: Out of a total of 931 fresh-water fishes which composed of 33 different species, 611 fishes (65.6 %) of 31 species were found positive with digenetic trematode metacercariae of 16 different species, and there were some differences in infection rates of the metacercariae among the fishes in the 3 parts of the river; 53.8 percent in upper, 80.7 % in middle, and 61.0 % in lower reaches, respectively. Infection rates of the metacercariae of Exorchis oviformis, Metagonimus yokogawai, Echinochasmus japonicus, Metorchis orientalis and Clonorchis sinensis in the fishes were 48 %, 29 %, 11 %, 7.9 % and 6.3 %, respectively. The average number of the encysted larvae of Clonorchis found in fish body/gram showed 4.44 in Pseudorasbora parva, Gnathopogon coreanus (1.2), Microphysogobio yaluensis(0.76), Abbottina springeri(0.4), Acanthorhodeus asmussi (0.21) and Cultriculus eigenmanni (0.17), respectively. The average number of the metacercariae of Metagonimus found in fish body/gram disclosed 34.01 in Zacco platypus, Zacco temmincki (16.46), Carassius carassius (5.35), Moroco oxycephalus (1.54), Aphyocypris chinensis (1.5) and etc., respectively. Detection rates of the eggs of Clonorchis and Metagonimus among residents were 1.1 % and 0.8 %, respectively, out of a total 923 persons.
