AB  - The infection nature of Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) in freshwater 
      fish hosts is closely related to the transmission of human clonorchiasis. This 
      article reviewed the infection characteristics of CsMc in freshwater fish in the 
      Republic of Korea (Korea). The status of CsMc infection was examined in a total 
      of 17,792 cyprinid fish of 49 species in 9 water systems, which included 
      Hantan-/Imjin-gang, Han-gang, Geum-gang, Mangyeong-gang, Yeongsan-gang, 
      Tamjin-gang, Seomjin-gang, Nakdong-gang, and streams in the east coastal areas 
      from 2010 to 2020. The infection status of CsMc was examined according to 
      cyprinid fish species and water systems, after which analyzed by endemicity and 
      susceptibility index. The high endemicity was shown in the cyprinid fish from 3 
      regions (6.1%) in the upper reaches of Nakdong-gang, such as Banbyeon-cheon 
      (stream), Yongjeon-cheon, and Wi-cheon. The moderate levels were observed in 
      fishes from 8 regions (16.3%), and low endemicity was shown in fishes from 20 
      regions (40.8%). No CsMc were detected in fish from 18 regions (36.7%). The 
      susceptibility of CsMc in index fish, Puntungia herzi, was found to be a reliable 
      index without examination of other fish species. CsMc infection rates were 
      closely related to subfamily groups in the cyprinid fish hosts in a highly 
      endemic area. In Korea, a total of 58 fish species in 10 families has been listed 
      as the second intermediate hosts for C. sinensis. This review provides several 
      novel features of CsMc infection and clarifies the species of second intermediate 
      freshwater fish host in Korea.
