Eggs of a small intestinal trematode were found in the faeces of two 21-month-old children from the same rural district of South Australia who presented 18 months apart with mild abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Treatment with praziquantel resulted in egg clearance and resolution of gastrointestinal symptoms. A brachylaimid intestinal trematode involving the common house mouse, poultry and introduced European helicid snails is well established in South Australia. Both infants had been seen eating raw snails, and snails from their environment were found to be infected with metacercariae of a brachylaimid trematode.
在南澳大利亚同一农村地区的两名21个月大儿童的粪便中发现了小肠吸虫卵，这两名儿童相隔18个月出现，症状为轻度腹痛和腹泻。使用吡喹酮治疗后虫卵清除，胃肠道症状缓解。一种涉及普通家鼠、家禽和引进的欧洲蜗牛的短咽科肠道吸虫在南澳大利亚已很常见。两名婴儿均被发现食用过生蜗牛，且在他们生活环境中的蜗牛被发现感染了短咽科吸虫的囊蚴。
