Clinostomum (C.) complanatum is one of the trematode helminthes in birds and causes incidental infectionin human. A black-tailed gull (Larus crassirostris) was referred to the Jeju wildlife rescue center. Because of the deathof bird after two weeks treatment, necropsy was performed to the bird. Grossly, many living worms adhered to theoral mucosa including pharynx and esophagus were observed. The worms removed were identified as C. complanatumafter morphological observation. The linguiform adult worms were 5.19 ± 0.48 mm long and 1.80 ± 0.18 mm wide. Histopathologically, severe necrosis and surrounding inflammation were observed at the infection sites of adult wormin pharynx and esophagus. This is the first report for C. complanatum infection in wild black-tailed gull in Korea.
