Liver Flukes:
* Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis: These flukes primarily infect the bile ducts of the liver, causing cholangiohepatitis and liver cancer.
* Fasciola hepatica: This fluke infects the liver, causing fascioliasis, which can lead to liver abscesses, bile duct obstruction, and fibrosis.
Lung Flukes:
* Paragonimus westermani: This fluke infects the lungs, causing paragonimiasis, characterized by coughing, hemoptysis, and chest pain.
Intestinal Flukes:
* Fasciolopsis buski: This fluke infects the small intestine, causing fasciolopsiasis, which can lead to diarrhea, abdominal pain, and malabsorption.
* Dicrocoelium dendriticum: This fluke infects the bile ducts and intestines, causing dicrocoeliasis, which is usually asymptomatic.
Blood Flukes:
* Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma haematobium, and Schistosoma japonicum: These flukes infect the blood vessels, causing schistosomiasis, which can lead to liver damage, intestinal problems, bladder cancer, and neurological complications.
Other Organs:
* Metagonimus yokogawai: This fluke primarily infects the small intestine, but can also infect the pancreas, liver, and bile ducts.
* Heterophyes heterophyes: This fluke primarily infects the small intestine, but can also infect the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
It's important to note that the specific organs infected by a fluke depend on the species of fluke and the life cycle of the parasite.
