ABSTRACT
Several kinds of fresh-water fishes collected from natural water resources in Khon Kaen District were digested with 0.25% pepsin A to obtain the infective stage or metacercariae of fish-borne trematodes. Most of them harbored at least 3 species of trematodes. Two families of medical trematodes, i.e., Family heterophyidae and Family Opisthorchiidae, were isolated. The heterophyid flukes consisted of Haplorchis taichui, H. pumilio and Centrocestus formosanus. Opisthorchis viverrini was the only parasite of the Family Opisthorchiidae found in these fish. Among these four species, H. taichui was predominant and found in all kinds of fish examined, especially Hampala dispar.
