The selectivity for the second intermediate host (fish) of Clonorchis sinensis in the Jialing River basin, China—from the perspective of fish ecological viewpoint

Clonorchiasis poses a great threat to human public health. Clonorchis sinensis (Opisthorchiidae: Digenea) is the most representative fish-borne parasitic zoonotic agent. As the second intermediate host of C. sinensis, fish are necessary for C. sinensis to complete its life cycle and infect humans.
