This document lists 14 species of parasitic flatworms (trematodes) that infect humans and other mammals. It provides information on the common name, intermediate snail host, second intermediate host, diagnostic stage, egg morphology, adult worm morphology, pathogenesis, and drug of choice for each species. The flatworms listed include liver, intestinal, and blood flukes that cause diseases such as fascioliasis, echinostomiasis, heterophyiasis, metagonimiasis, clonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis, paragonimiasis, and schistosomiasis.
