Abstract: Paragonimiasis is one of the important food-borne zoonotic parasitic diseases in China. Adult Paragonimus can cause serious damage to the lungs of the host. Therefore, it is very important to detect Paragonimus accurately and timely. At present, detection of Paragonimus still depends on good laboratory detection techniques, mainly including pathogenic examination, immunological examination and molecular biological examination. In this paper, the research progress of laboratory detection methods for Paragonimus was reviewed to provide reference for the diagnosis of paragonimiasis.
