- A study was conducted on the opisthorchiasis situation in the Irtysh-Karaganda canal zone, involving 615 people using fecal tests and 319 with blood tests, as well as testing 26 domestic cats and some mollusks.
- The current infection rate of opisthorchiasis in the canal zone is considered favorable.
- Some infections are linked to consuming fish from the Shiderty River.
Article Abstract
The opisthorchiasis situation in Irtysh--Karaganda canal zone were studied. 615 men (by coprological method), 319 men (by serological method), 26 domestic cats, and molluscs (gen.

Opisthorchiasis and related infections are persistent and substantial public health burdens from eastern Europe to southeastern and northern Asia. Snails of the family Bithyniidae act as first intermediate hosts not only for the trematodes of the family Opisthorchiidae but also for those of the family Notocotylidae. There are certain morphological similarities between the aforementioned trematode cercariae.

Opisthorchiasis, caused by the foodborne trematode parasite Opisthorchis viverrini, is co-endemic with leptospirosis in the Greater Mekong Subregion. Socio-economic determinants, occupational risk factors, and reservoir hosts interact with the diseases in the threat to human health, but the situation has not been explored. We, therefore, studied the interaction between the diseases and their associated risks using a syndemic approach with nationwide data for Thailand.
