AB  - Opisthorchiasis caused by Opisthorchis viverrini (O. viverrini) remains as 
      medically important problem in Thailand especially in the north-eastern part. 
      Infection with this parasite can lead to cholangiocarcinoma improvement. The 
      highest prevalence of O. viverrini infection has been found in the Northeast 
      Thailand and is associated with the high incidence rate of cholangiocarcinoma. To 
      complete the life cycle of O. viverrini, the freshwater snails namely Bithynia 
      funiculata, Bithynia siamensis siamensis and Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos 
      (B. s. goniomphalos) are required to serve as the first intermediate host. Within 
      these snails group, B. s. goniomphalos is distributed concisely in northeast 
      Thailand and acts as the majority snail that transmitted the opisthorchiasis in 
      this region. This study described the information of B. s. goniomphalos which 
      research are needed for understanding the biology, distribution, transmission and 
      factors influencing on the infection of the snail vector of this carcinogenic 
      parasite.
