      (River) in Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea.

AB  - The present study was performed to investigate the infection status with 
      Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) in fishes from 2 sites, the middle and 
      lower reaches, of Tamjin-gang (River) in Jeollanam-do, the Republic of Korea. 
      Total 1,132 fishes in 22 species were collected from the middle reaches in 
      Jangheung-gun for 4 years (2014-2017) and 517 fishes in 17 species were also 
      collected from the lower reaches in Gangjin-gun in 2014 and 2017. They were all 
      individually examined with the artificial digestion method in our laboratory. 
      CsMc were detected in 322 (28.5%) out of 1,132 fishes from Jangheung-gun, and in 
      161 (31.1%) out of 517 fishes from Gangjin-gun, and their densities were 51 and 
      57 per fish infected each. In the fish species with CsMc, positive rates were 
      61.5% in Jangheung-gun and 62.7% in Gangjin-gun. A total of 222 Pungtungia herzi 
      were examined and they were all infected with CsMc. The average intensity was 103 
      CsMc in the index fish, P. herzi (95 in Jangheung-gun and 121 in Gangjin-gun). In 
      P. herzi bimonthly examined in 2017, the intensity was commonly most higher in 
      March in 2 surveyed sites, however the significant seasonal endemicity was not 
      showed. Conclusively, it was confirmed that CsMc is more or less prevalent in 
      fishes from Tamjin-gang and their endemicity is higher in fish from the lower 
      reaches in Gangjin-gun than the middle reaches in Jangheung-gun in Jeollanam-do, 
      Korea.
