The number of people currently infected with FZTs was recently estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to exceed 18 million, with the number of people at risk worldwide estimated at more than half a billion (WHO, 2004). These zoonotic parasites are especially prevalent in South East Asia, where recent data suggest that there are about 1.5 million people in Korea, 6 million people in China, and over 5 million in Thailand infected with liver flukes, either Clonorchis sinensis or Opisthorchis viverrini (Chai et al., 2005a). Further, more than 50 species of foodborne intestinal flukes belonging to the Heterophyidae and Echinostomatidae have been reported from China (Yu and Xu, 2005), Korea (Chai,
