There are over 80 different species of trematodes that are transmitted through food that can cause infections in humans. [9] Foodborne trematodiases include intestinal flukes, lung flukes, and liver flukes. [9] Liver flukes cause liver disease in humans and are caused by the species Clonorchis, Opisthorchis and Fasciola. [2]
Liver fluke – Fasciolosis [9] Fasciola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica: liver, gall bladder stool Fasciola hepatica in Europe, Africa, Australia, the Americas and Oceania; Fasciola gigantica only in Africa and Asia, 2.4 million people infected by both species freshwater snails Fasciolopsiasis – intestinal fluke [10] Fasciolopsis buski: intestines
