The authors report on a new case of distomatosis localized in the main biliary duct. It has been revealed by a repeated angiocholitis, diagnosed only by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. They draw attention on the difficulties to diagnose this clinical form of distomatosis, and underline the interest of ultrasonography in the diagnosis and the selection of therapeutic means.

Department of Pathology, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, P.R. China.
Background: Fasciolopsis buski is a large fluke that parasitises the human small intestine, with its infection in the biliary tract being even rarer. Given its relatively rare occurrence in recent years, the clinical diagnosis of F. buski infections can pose certain challenges.

Objective: Despite the Ministry of Public Health's initiative to involve local governments in waste management through the establishment of sewage treatment ponds aimed at disrupting the life cycle of Opisthorchis viverrini (OV), the majority of areas still lack adequate sewage treatment facilities. This action research sought to develop an environmental management model (EMM) to prevent OV and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in a high-risk region of Thailand.
Methods: The study identified two primary target groups: a process development group comprising 20 participants and an evaluation group comprising 32 participants.
Functional characterization of glucose transporter 4 involved in glucose uptake in Clonorchis sinensis.
Parasites Hosts Dis
November 2024
Department of Parasitology and Tropical Medicine, Inha University School of Medicine, Incheon 22212, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- * This study investigated the glucose transporter CsGTP4 in C. sinensis to better understand how the parasite uptakes nutrients, using Xenopus laevis oocytes for experimentation.
- * Findings showed that CsGTP4 facilitates deoxy-D-glucose uptake in a precise manner that is independent of sodium, with specific kinetics, and is inhibited by glucose and galactose, which can inform the development of new antiparasitic treatments.
Burden and risk factors of suspected cholangiocarcinoma in high Opisthorchis viverrini endemic rural communities in southern Lao PDR.

Introduction: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a major contributor to hepatobiliary mortality in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). Infection with the carcinogenic trematode Opisthorchis viverrini (OV), acquired through consumption of insufficiently-cooked river fish, is a known risk factor for the development of CCA. Together with OV, other risk factors contribute to the pathogenesis of CCA.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on hepatobiliary platynosomosis (HP) caused by the parasite Platynosomum illiciens in black-tufted marmosets in Central Brazil, analyzing autopsy data from 2006 to 2021 to understand its impact on both captive and free-ranging populations.
- - Results show that 10.8% of black-tufted marmosets autopsied had HP, with a significantly higher prevalence in captive marmosets (49.6%) compared to free-ranging ones (6.5%), particularly during the wet season.
- - Pathological findings indicated severe liver and bile duct damage in affected marmosets, and the study emphasizes the urgent need for better management and preventive measures
