This paper records the discovery of a new pathogenic lung fluke Paragonimus hueit'ungensis sp. nov. in Hueit'ung County of Hunan Province. The salient features of the adults of this lung fluke, its first and second intermediate hosts, rediae, cercariae, metacercariae and the results of feeding experiments on laboratory animals (albino rats, cats, and dogs) are described and compared with the relevant species of lung flukes already known. Biopsies of the migratory subcutaneous nodules done in 2 pediatric cases seen in the endemic area of Hueit'ung County have both shown the presence of immature adolescent lung flukes, whose morphological features agree in general with those obtained through feeding experiments in laboratory animals. But the reproductive organs of these biopsied adolescent flukes are poorly developed; and they do not produce eggs in the human body where they appear to migrate blindly from one place to another, indicating that man is not a suitable final host for this parasite, in spite of its pathogenic implications. Hence one has to be careful not to confuse clinical cases of this new form of paragonimiasis with those due to paragonimiasis szech'uanensis. Studies on the different aspects of this new lung fluke are obviously of practical importance in the early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the disease in the localities concerned.
本文记录了在湖南省会同县发现的一种新的致病肺吸虫——会同肺吸虫（新种）。描述了这种肺吸虫成虫、第一和第二中间宿主、雷蚴、尾蚴、囊蚴的显著特征，以及对实验动物（白化大鼠、猫和狗）的感染实验结果，并与已知的相关肺吸虫种类进行了比较。在会同县流行区所见的2例儿童病例中，对迁移性皮下结节进行活检，均发现有未成熟的童虫，其形态特征与通过实验动物感染实验获得的大体一致。但这些活检的童虫生殖器官发育不良，在人体中不产卵，且在人体内似乎盲目地从一个地方迁移到另一个地方，这表明尽管该寄生虫具有致病性，但人并非其合适的终宿主。因此，必须注意不要将这种新形式的肺吸虫病临床病例与四川肺吸虫病混淆。对这种新肺吸虫不同方面的研究，显然对有关地区该病的早期诊断、治疗和预防具有实际意义。
