Complex morphological characterization and morphometric-molecular discrimination of two paramphistome species co-infecting cattle, Orthocoelium sp. and Paramphistomum epiclitum.

Co-infection by two paramphistome species, Orthocoelium sp. and Paramphistomum epiclitum, is found in cattle in Thailand. The morphological features of these and other paramphistomes under a light microscope are similar, resulting in misidentification and misdiagnosis.
