We also identified of metacercariae by using HAT-RAPD PCR method comparing DNA profiles of parasites. Materials and methods: Liver flukes and minute intestinal flukes were studied from the Fang-Mae Ai Agricultural Basin between October 2009 and September 2010. Fish specimens were seasonally collected and each fish was digested and filtered. The metacercariae were collected and counted under a stereo microscope and identified based on morphological characters.
