Paragonimus Westermanii

Paragonimus Westermanii is a species of trematode in the order Fasciolidae, family Paragonimidae. It is a parasite of the respiratory tract of humans and some mammals. The larval stages of P. westermanii develop sequentially in mollusks and crustaceans. P. Westermanii is the causative agent of paragonimiasis, a parasitic disease characterized by inflammation of the lungs and pleura.

Infection with P. Westermanii occurs by eating raw or poorly processed crustaceans containing the larvae of the parasite. In the human intestine, cysts release larvae that migrate to the lungs, where they develop into adults.

P. Westermanii is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa and the Americas. To prevent paragonimiasis, it is important to thoroughly process crustaceans before eating.

Paragonimus westermani is a species of trematode that belongs to the family Fasciolididae and genus Paragonimides. This parasite infects the respiratory tract of humans and other mammals, causing a disease known as paragonimiasis. Paragonimiasis larvae develop in a mollusk or crustacean before reaching adult forms that can infect humans. Treatment of paragonovirus can be difficult and often requires long-term therapy. Symptoms of paragonovich include cough, shortness of breath, chest pain and other respiratory symptoms. To prevent infection from this
