  1. Clonorchissinensis ImanDiriye & Mikayla Hardy

  2. INTRODUCTION • Common name is the oriental liver fluke or chinese liver fluke. • Disease caused by infection: Clonorchiasis • 10-25 mm fluke. • Hermaphroditic. • They mature in the bile duct of the liver. • They can produce 4,000 eggs per day for 6 months.

  3. History • Documented in 1875 by James McConnell • Parasites dated back to 278 B.C. was found in an Asian corpse from the Han dynasty

  4. Taxonomy • Common Name: Chinese Liver Fluke • Scientific Name: Clonorchissinensis • Kingdom: Animalia • Phylum: Platyhelminthes • Class: Trematoda • Order: Opisthorchiida • Family: Opisthorchiidae • Genus: Clonorchis • Species: C. sinensis

  5. Hosts • Definitive host: human, pigs, and rodents. • First Intermediate host: snail • Second Intermediate host: specific freshwater fish (example: Grass Carp) or crustaceans • Reservoir host: dogs, cats

  6. Geographic Distribution • Found in China • Japan • Korea • Taiwan • Vietnam • Can also be found be non-endemic areas from infected immigrants, or eating imported uncooked freshwater fish infected by metacercariae.

  9. Morphology Eggs Miracidia Sporocysts Rediae Cercariae Metacercariae Adult Fluke

  10. Transmission • Ingestion of raw or improperly cooked freshwater fish or crustaceans that contain encysted larvae • Food or drink contaminated with eggs • Not transmitted directly human to human • Infected person may pass viable eggs for up to 30 years after initial infection

  11. Symptoms • Often asymptomatic • Fever, chills, stomach pains, digestive problems, bile obstruction, vomiting, enlargement of spleen and liver • Severe infestation-Cholangioheptitis, liver failure, cancer of bile ducts • Small number of cases experience Jaundice • No host immunity after infection

  12. Diagnosis • Examination of stool samples • Characteristic eggs in feces • Elisa Blood test • Endoscopy • Tissue Sample • Identify Adult Liver Flukes

  13. Video • Cannulation of bile duct. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g18B2rm78E4

  14. Treatment • Praziquantel-drug of choice; increases cellular membrane permeability resulting in a loss of intra-cellular calcium, paralyzes muscles of fluke. • Albendazole-inhibits metabolism in the fluke cells causing them to become immobile

  15. Prevention & Control • Avoid consuming raw or undercooked freshwater fish and crustaceans • Control snail population • Control and eliminate night soil usage near fish ponds. • Avoid use of contaminated water.

  16. Review! • What are the definitive, intermediate, and reservoir hosts? • Where do the flukes mature? • What are some of the symptoms? • What are some methods of diagnosis? • What are the methods of prevention/control?
