DOI: 10.1016/bs.apar.2018.05.003
Abstract: Although any fish-eating mammals could be potential definitive hosts of Opisthorchis viverrini, only a few, especially cats and dogs, are actually known reservoir hosts for this parasite. Both animals usually get infected via consuming raw… read more here.
