Opisthorchiidae is a family of digenean trematodes. Opisthorchiidae have cosmopolitan distribution. [1]The most medically important species in the family Opisthorchiidae are Clonorchis sinensis, Opisthorchis viverrini, and Opisthorchis felineus, [1] that are causes of the disease clonorchiasis.
Clonorchiasis is an infectious disease caused by the Chinese liver fluke (Clonorchis sinensis) and two related species. Clonorchiasis is a known risk factor for the development of cholangiocarcinoma, a neoplasm of the biliary system. [citation needed]

Trematodiasis is a group of parasitic infections caused by different species of flukes, in humans mainly by digenean trematodes. [4] Symptoms can range from mild to severe depending on the species, number and location of trematodes in the infected organism. [1]
Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini are both categorized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 1 carcinogens. [ 6 ] In humans, the onset of cholangiocarcinoma occurs with chronic opisthorchiasis, associated with hepatobiliary damage, inflammation, periductal fibrosis and/or cellular responses to antigens ...
