AB  - The infection status with Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) was examined 
      in freshwater fishes from Yongjeon-cheon (a branch of Nakdong-gang) located in 
      Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, the Republic of Korea (Korea). A total of 750 
      fishes in 19 species were examined by the artificial digestion method for 2 years 
      (2019 and 2020). CsMc were detected in 378 (51.4%) out of 735 fishes in 14 
      species (73.7%), and the infection intensity was 666 per fish infected. In 2019, 
      CsMc were found in 172 (68.0%) out of 253 fishes in 10 species, and the infection 
      intensity was 565 per fish infected. In 2020, CsMc were detected in 206 (62.2%) 
      out of 331 fishes in 10 species, and the infection intensity was 751 per fish 
      infected. The other zoonotic trematode, ie. Metagonimus spp., Centrocestus 
      armatus, Echinostoma spp. and Clinostomum complanatum, metacercariae were also 
      detected in fishes from the survey streams, but their endemicities were 
      relatively low. Conclusively, it was first confirmed that CsMc are highly endemic 
      in fishes from Yongjeon-cheon in Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea.
