Plagiorchiida
Plagiorchiida is a large order of trematodes, synonymous to Echinostomida. They belong to the Digenea, a large subclass of flukes. This order contains relatively few significant parasites of humans.

Digenea
Digenea (Gr. ''Dis'' – double, ''Genos'' – race) is a class of trematodes in the Platyhelminthes phylum, consisting of parasitic flatworms (known as ''flukes'') with a syncytial tegument and, usually, two suckers, one ventral and one oral. Adults commonly live within the digestive tract, but occur throughout the organ systems of all classes of vertebrates. Once thought to be related to the Monogenea, it is now recognised that they are closest to the Aspidogastrea and that the Monogenea are more closely allied with the Cestoda. Around 6,000 species have been described to date. Morphology Key features Characteristic features of the Digenea include a syncytial tegument; that is, a tegument where the junctions between cells are broken down and a single continuous cytoplasm surrounds the entire animal. A similar tegument is found in other members of the Neodermata; a group of platyhelminths comprising the Digenea, Aspidogastrea, Monogenea and Cestoda. Digeneans possess a ...

Paragonimidae
''Paragonimus'' is a genus of flukes (trematodes) and is the only genus in the monotypic family Paragonimidae. Some tens of species have been described, but they are difficult to distinguish, so it is not clear how many of the named species may be synonyms. The name Paragonimus is derived from the combination of two Greek words, “para” (on the side of) and “gonimos” (gonads or genitalia). Several of the species are known as lung flukes. In humans some of the species occur as zoonoses; the term for the condition is paragonimiasis. The first intermediate hosts of ''Paragonimus'' include at least 54 species of freshwater snails from superfamilies Cerithioidea and Rissooidea. The most prominent species of ''Paragonimus'' in human medicine is ''Paragonimus westermani'', an infectious lung fluke originating in eastern Asia. Worldwide, about nine species of ''Paragonimus'' are known to cause human paragonimiasis in which many of the species reside in East Asia, West Africa, and i ...

Apocreadiidae
Apocreadiidae is a family of parasitic worms in the class Trematoda. Characteristics Members of the family are characterised by having extensive vitelline (yolk producing) follicles, eye-spot pigment dispersed in the front half of the body, a rod-shaped excretory vesicle, no cirrus-sac and the genital pore just in front of the ventral sucker or occasionally just behind it.

Paragonimus Westermani
''Paragonimus westermani'' (Japanese lung fluke or oriental lung fluke) is the most common species of lung fluke that infects humans, causing paragonimiasis. Human infections are most common in eastern Asia and in South America. Paragonimiasis may present as a sub-acute to chronic inflammatory disease of the lung. It was discovered by Dutch zoologist Coenraad Kerbert in 1878. Causative agent More than 30 species of trematodes (flukes) of the genus ''Paragonimus'' have been reported to infect animals and humans. Among the more than 10 species reported to infect humans, the most common is ''Paragonimus westermani'', the oriental lung fluke. Morphology In size, shape, and color, ''Paragonimus westermani'' resembles a coffee bean when alive. Adult worms are 7.5 mm to 12 mm long and 4 mm to 6 mm wide. The thickness ranges from 3.5 mm to 5 mm. The skin of the worm ( tegument) is thickly covered with scalelike spines. The oral and ventral suckers are ...
