Morphology of the lung fluke Paragonimus uterobilateralis occurring in Gabon, West Africa.
The morphology of two adult lung flukes and eggs obtained from an experimentally infected cat in Gabon corresponded in almost all details with the type material of Paragonimus uterobilateralis. The taxonomic differences between these lung flukes and the type material of P. africanus are summarized. The zoogeography of West African Paragonimus species is discussed.
