The Deadly Trematodes
Description
Trematodes are tiny parasites that live for years in the liver, the lungs and even the brains of at least 40 million people worldwide. We get infected by eating freshwater fish and shellfish—and it’s very hard to detect and cure. Millions of dollars a year are wasted on treating the wrong disease. We travel to Vietnam to see how this disease is easily transmitted, especially to children.
