TI  - Prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae in freshwater fish from three 
      latitudinal regions of the Korean Peninsula.

AB  - A large-scale survey was conducted to investigate the infection status of fresh 
      water fishes with Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) in 3 wide regions, 
      which were tentatively divided by latitudinal levels of the Korean peninsula. A 
      total of 4,071 freshwater fishes were collected from 3 regions, i.e., northern 
      (Gangwon-do: 1,543 fish), middle (Chungcheongbuk-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do: 1,167 
      fish), and southern areas (Jeollanam-do, Ulsan-si, and Gyeongsangnam-do: 1,361 
      fish). Each fish was examined by the artificial digestion method from 2003 to 
      2010. In northern areas, only 11 (0.7%) fish of 2 species, Pungtungia herzi and 
      Squalidus japonicus coreanus from Hantan-gang, Cheolwon-gun, Gangwon-do were 
      infected with av. 2.6 CsMc. In middle areas, 149 (12.8%) fish were infected with 
      av. 164 CsMc. In southern areas, 538 (39.5%) fish were infected with av. 159 
      CsMc. In the analysis of endemicity in 3 regions with an index fish, P. herzi, 9 
      (6.2%) of 146 P. herzi from northern areas were infected with av. 2.8 CsMc. In 
      middle areas, 34 (31.8%) of 107 P. herzi were infected with av. 215 CsMc, and in 
      southern areas, 158 (92.9%) of 170 P. herzi were infected with av. 409 CsMc. From 
      these results, it has been confirmed that the infection status of fish with CsMc 
      is obviously different among the 3 latitudinal regions of the Korean peninsula 
      with higher prevalence and burden in southern regions.
