dc.description.abstractFour hundred and thirty-one residents from 16 provinces in northern Thailand who had previously been found positive for Opisthorchis viverrini or Opisthorchis viverrini-like eggs were given praziquantel 40 mg/kg. The stool was collected for 4 to 6 times and examined for adult worms. The prevalence of Opisthorchis viverrini in this group was 11.6%. Intestinal flukes, Haplorchis taichui and Haplorchis yokogawai, were predominantly found in 63.11% and 10.44% respectively. Other intestinal flukes (Centrocestus caninus, Echinostoma malayanum, Haplorchis pumilio, Phaneropsolus bonnei, Plagiorchid flukes, Prosthodendrium molenkampi and Stellantchasmus falcatus) were also found in small numbers.en_US
