Studies on the experimental mode of infections of Clonorchis sinensis. II. Experimental infection of Clonorchis sinensis cercaria to fry of fresh water fishes

Abstract

Cercariae of Clonorchis sinensis were attempted to penetrate into various fry of fresh water fishes in order to examine the conditions of infection and the further development in the fish. The following conclusions were made.

1. Cercariae of C. sinensis penetrated into the muscle of the fry of Pseudorasbora parva were found to be able to develop.

2. Cercariae penetrated into the fry of Pseudorasbora parva migrated into the organs of the fry to kill their host.

3. From each dead individual of P. parva, more than 10 larvae of C. sinensis could be discovered.

4. Cercariae attached on the Cyprinus carpio, Carassius auratus and gold fish were almost killed before penetration into the body and even one or two cercariae penetrated were also killed as time passed.

5. Cercariae of C. sinensis infected on the fry of Cyprinus Carpio, Carassius auratus and gold fish could not survive more than 60 days.

6. Cercariae penetrated into Cyprinus carpio and Carassius auratus could not develop into complete metacercariae even after 3O days.

7. Cercariae of Clonorchis sinensis penetrated into the fry of Aplocheilus latipes were killed within 10 hours and the cercariae attached on the caudal fin were destroyed in 2 hours.

8. It was found that no cercariae of Clonorchis sinensis could penetrate into the body of the fry of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus.
