- - The study aimed to identify the species, hosts, and infection rates of a particular parasite in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province, to locate local infection hotspots.
- - Examination of 4,890 snails revealed a low cercariae infection rate of 0.10%, while 34 crabs showed a significantly higher infection rate of 85.29% for a new species serving as a second intermediate host.
