The first intermediate hosts of Metagonimus miyatai include freshwater snails Semisulcospira libertina,[2] Semisulcospira dolorosa,[2] and Koreoleptoxis globus.[3]
The second intermediate host include freshwater fish: Phoxinus lagowskii steindachneri,[2] Zacco platypus, Nipponocypris temminckii, Plecoglossus altivelis, Tribolodon hakonensis, and Tribolodon brandtii, Opsariichthys bidens.[1][3]
Natural definitive hosts are: dogs, red fox Vulpes vulpes japonica, Japanese raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus, black-eared kite Milvus migrans lineatus, and humans.[1]
Experimental definitive hosts are: mice, rats, hamsters, and dogs.[1][3]
Distribution
This species occurs in Japan[2] and Korea.[3]
Metagonimiasis
An infected individual may experience abdominal pain and diarrhea[4] The diagnosis is done via stool sample[5] and management is via praziquantel, which is recommended [6]
