Paragonimidae
''Paragonimus'' is a genus of flukes (trematodes) and is the only genus in the monotypic family Paragonimidae. Some tens of species have been described, but they are difficult to distinguish, so it is not clear how many of the named species may be synonyms. The name Paragonimus is derived from the combination of two Greek words, “para” (on the side of) and “gonimos” (gonads or genitalia). Several of the species are known as lung flukes. In humans some of the species occur as zoonoses; the term for the condition is paragonimiasis. The first intermediate hosts of ''Paragonimus'' include at least 54 species of freshwater snails from superfamilies Cerithioidea and Rissooidea. The most prominent species of Paragonimus in human medicine is ''Paragonimus westermani'', an infectious lung fluke originating in eastern Asia. Worldwide, about nine species of ''Paragonimus'' are known to cause human paragonimiasis in which many of the species reside in East Asia, West Africa, and in No ...

Paragonimus Skrjabini
''Paragonimus skrjabini'' is classified as a species in the genus ''Paragonimus'', which consists of many species of lung flukes that result in the food-borne parasitic disease paragonimiasis. Introduction Scientists have identified ''P. skrjabini,'' along with several other species including ''P. westermani'' and ''P. miyazakii,'' to be key pathogens in causing paragonimiasis in humans, primarily in Asian regions of the world. ''P. skrjabini'' is especially prevalent in 26 provinces in China with cases appearing more recently in India and Vietnam as well. From a morphological and genetic standpoint, ''P. skrjabini'' is most closely related to the species ''P. miyazakii,'' so much so that two sub-species have been classified separately within the ''P. skrjabini'' complex: ''P. skrjabini skrjabini'' and ''P. skrjabini miyazakii''. Doanh PN (2007) establishes the importance of learning more about ''P. skrjabini,'' asserting that "among ''Paragonimus'' species, ''P. westermani'' ...
