Nowadays, fishborne zoonotic trematodes (FZT) including Clonorchis sinensis are problematic endemic helminths in the Republic of Korea (Korea) [1]. Division of vectors and parasitic diseases of Korea DCPA (Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency) has continuously investigated the endemicity of FZT infections in the riverside areas of southern regions of Korea [2?5]. The coworking group also surveyed the infection status of zoonotic trematode metacercariae (ZTM) in the infection sources of FZT, freshwater fish, to know the epidemiological situation in water systems of major rivers in Korea [6?18]. Cho et al. [6] investigated the infection status of C. sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) in fishes from 3 wide regions by the latitudinal levels of Korean peninsula. Cho et al. [7] also surveyed the infection status of ZTM in fishes from Gangwon-do (do= province), Korea. The infections of digenetic trematode metacercariae (DTM) including C. sinensis were investigated in freshwater fish from Hantan-gang (gang means river) and Imjin-gang in northern regions of Korea [8]. The infection status of CsMc was investigated in fishes from Seomjin-gang and Tamjin-gang [9,10]. The infection characteristics with CsMc were also investigated in freshwater fish from 3 highly endemic branch streams of Nakdong-gang, i.e., Wi-cheon (cheon means stream), Yongjeon-cheon and Yang-cheon, in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea [11,12,16]. Sohn et al. [13,15] reported the infection status with ZTM in fishes from Geum-gang and with DTM in fishes from coastal lakes in Gangwon-do, Korea. Sohn and Na [14] surveyed the infection status of DTM in freshwater fishes from 2 visiting sites of migratory birds, Junam-jeosuji (jeosuji means reservoir) and Woopo-neup (neup means swamp), in Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. Recently, Sohn et al. [17,18] reported the infection status of ZTM in freshwater fishes from Soyang-cheon (a branch stream of Mangyeong-gang in Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do) and the irrigation canal of Togyo-jeosuji (Reservoir in Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do), Korea.
