Abstract

The article discusses liverfluke infections that affect millions of people in Asia and resulting diseases including chlonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis, and cancer of the bile duct. The authors call for increased attention to these diseases through food safety education given to school children rather than through intervention by global organizations.
