Invasive species, New Guinea Flatworm and Its Potential Role of Eosinophilic Meningoencephalitis in Thailand
Dr Kittipong Chaisiri
Department of Helminthology, Mahidol University
The invasive New Guinea flatworm (Platydermus manokwari) is recently reported for the first time in Thailand. With its bizarre biology and capacity to harbour infective stage larvae of lungworm (Angiostrongylus), a nematode causing eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans, this flatworm potentially plays an important role in epidemiology of the disease in Thailand.
