Metacercariae of Clinostomum Leidy, 1856 are frequently encountered in freshwater fish. Clinostomum complanatum is a digenetic zoonotic parasite harbouring the intestine and body cavity of the fishes. 19 human incidences of Clinostomum complanatum infection have been reported to cause pharyngitis and lacramalitis from Japan, Thailand and Korea. Hence, adequate yet effective diagnosis is an issue. Designing primers used in the amplification of genes with adequate specificity and efficiency is of help in diagnosis. Hence, we describe primer design for cox-1 gene from the helminth parasite, Clinostomum complanatum parasitizing the intestine of fish Channastriata (Snakehead murrel). Thus, these designed primers set will be of further use in the wet lab for amplification of concerned gene or DNA fragment.

The fluke Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite of piscivorous birds, but also reptiles and rarely mammals, has established several foci in the western Palaearctic regions. Previous studies pointed out the complicated taxonomy of the genus, but broader population genetic analysis of C. complanatum has not yet been carried out.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Clinostomum species in wild birds in Turkey using morphological and molecular methods.
Methods: 51 birds of 18 species from seven orders previously reported as definitive hosts of the Clinostomum spp. were collected.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of Clinostomum infections on Nile tilapia by assessing factors like fish and water quality, parasite morphology, and treatment efficacy.
- 300 tilapia were collected from various locations in Egypt, revealing that poor water conditions in fish farms contributed to higher rates of Clinostomid infections.
- Treatment with praziquantel was shown to effectively reduce parasites in infected fish, suggesting it as a safe control method for protecting both fish health and potentially human health.

Article Synopsis
- - Digenetic trematodes are a large group of parasitic flatworms affecting humans, with over 109 species across 49 genera globally.
- - They are categorized based on their location in definitive hosts into six groups: blood flukes, liver flukes, lung flukes, heterophyid intestinal flukes, echinostome intestinal flukes, and miscellaneous intestinal flukes.
- - Notable species include the blood flukes Schistosoma, liver flukes like Fasciola and Clonorchis, and various types of intestinal flukes such as Metagonimus and Echinostoma.

With the developing resistance to traditional antiparasitic medications, the purpose of this study was to efficiently develop a series of six noble flavanoidal tetrazinane-6'-one derivatives by a one-pot reaction pathway. FT-IR, HNMR, CNMR, and Mass spectra were employed for the structural elucidation of the synthesized compounds (7-12). Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite infection model that has been well-established, demonstrated that all the synthesized compounds are potent antiparasitic agents.
