 Infection with Liver Flukes (IARC Summary & Evaluation, Volume 61, 1994)
sinensis increased the incidence of cholangiocarcinomas in hamsters treated with 2-acetylaminofluorene or N-nitrosodimethylamine.
Infection with Clonorchis sinensis is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A).
felineus and Clonorchis sinensis, are biologically similar, food-borne trematodes which chronically infect the bile ducts and, more rarely, the pancreatic duct and gall-bladder of human beings and other mammals.

 AccessMedicine - Harrison's Internal Medicine: Liver (Biliary) Flukes
Infection with Clonorchis sinensis, the Chinese or oriental fluke, is endemic among fish-eating mammals in Southeast Asia.
On the basis of their migratory pathway in humans, these infections may be divided into the Clonorchis and Fasciola groups (Table 203-1).
Topics Discussed: clonorchiasis; clonorchis sinensis; fasciola gigantica; fasciola hepatica; fascioliasis; opisthorchiasis; opisthorchis felineus; opisthorchis viverrini.

 Emerging Foodborne Trematodiasis CDC EID
The relationship between diseases caused by trematodes and proximity of human habitation to suitable freshwater bodies is examined.
Third, it is important to juxtapose these observations with trends observed over the same period, but with an emphasis on soil-transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis.
Foodborne trematodiasis, which is caused by liver flukes (Clonorchis sinensis, Fasciola spp., Opisthorchis spp.), lung flukes (Paragonimus spp.), and intestinal flukes (Echinostoma spp., Fasciolopsis buski, heterophyids), is an emerging public health problem.
