To assess the species of human paragonimiasis in Lao People's Democratic Republic, 6 ovum samples from 6 native confirmed paragonimiasis patients were examined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifying the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2). The PCR products were sequenced, and a homology search was performed using the GenBank. All 6 sequences were identical with Paragonimus heterotremus ITS2. Our work suggests that P. heterotremus may be the main etiological agent of human paragonimiasis in this locality.
为评估老挝人民民主共和国人体肺吸虫病的种类，对6例本地确诊肺吸虫病患者的6份虫卵样本进行了聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测，扩增其内部转录间隔区2（ITS2）。对PCR产物进行测序，并使用GenBank进行同源性搜索。所有6个序列均与异盘肺吸虫ITS2相同。我们的研究表明，异盘肺吸虫可能是该地区人体肺吸虫病的主要病原体。
