PHILOPHTHALMUS HECHINGERI N. SP. (DIGENEA: PHILOPHTHALMIDAE), A HUMAN-INFECTING EYE FLUKE FROM THE ASIAN MUD SNAIL, BATILLARIA ATTRAMENTARIA.

The Journal of parasitology - 1 Jan 2022

Abstract excerpt

Two cases of human philophthalmosis have been reported in Japan. Gravid flukes removed from the eyes of the patients were broken, but their morphological characteristics suggest that an unknown species of the genus Philophthalmus is involved as a pathogen for humans. The mitochondrial DNA barcode of the human eye fluke enabled us to discover its larval stage from the Japanese mud snail, Batillaria attramentaria....
