Development of a conventional diagnostic method for Eurytrema and conducting an epidemiological survey on grazing cattle in South Kyushu

胰广孔吸虫和胰广孔吸虫的两种诊断方法。分别建立了尼龙网过滤虫卵检测法和粪抗原检测法。对日本、巴西和越南采集的吸虫进行DNA分析，发现两种广孔吸虫是独立的种，但不能从形态上完全区分。为了治疗感染，发现一次口服25 mg/kg吡喹酮有效。

Two methods for diagnosis of Eurytrema pancreaticum and E. coelomaticum, called nylon-mesh filtration egg detection method and coproantigen detection method, were developed. DNA analysis on the trematodes collected in Japan, Brazil and Vietnam revealed that the two species of Eurytrema are the independent species, however, they could not be distinguished each other completely by their morphology. For treatment of the infection, it was found that one oral administration with 25 mg/kg of praziquantel was effective.
