墨西哥并殖吸虫是美洲几个国家人类并殖吸虫病的病原体。它被认为是墨西哥唯一存在的该属物种，在那里它负责人类感染。通过对来自墨西哥几个地方的P. mexicanus标本的调查，我们提供了形态学、分子和地理学证据，强烈表明墨西哥存在至少三个来自该属的物种。这些结果提出了关于诊断，治疗，预防和控制在墨西哥人肺吸虫病的问题。我们还提供了一个简短的讨论生物多样性的库存和生物多样性研究中提供分子和形态信息的便利。
Paragonimus mexicanus is the causal agent of human paragonimiasis in several countries of the Americas. It is considered to be the only species of the genus present in Mexico, where it is responsible for human infection. Through the investigation of P. mexicanus specimens from several places throughout Mexico, we provide morphological, molecular and geographical evidence that strongly suggests the presence of at least three species from this genus in Mexico. These results raise questions regarding the diagnosis, treatment, prophylaxis and control of human paragonimiasis in Mexico. We also provide a brief discussion regarding biodiversity inventories and the convenience of providing molecular and morphological information in biodiversity studies.
