Abstract

Examination of fecal samples, collected after treatment with praziquantel, of the persons positive with opisthorchioid eggs residing in the northern provinces of Thailand, was carried out. Five adults Centrocestus were recovered in one sample from Doi Saket, Chiang Mai and one adult was found in another fecal sample from Wiang Pa Pao, Chiang Rai. The worms had 26-30 spines arranging in two rows around the oral sucker which agreed with the character of C. caninus. This is the first record of natural human infection with Centrocestus in Thailand.
