Objective:

To synthesize current knowledge on the competitive interaction between Exorchis sp. and S. japonicum within O. hupensis.

Key Findings:
  • Prior infection with Exorchis sp. can completely block subsequent infection by S. japonicum in O. hupensis.
  • O. hupensis serves as the obligate intermediate host for both Exorchis sp. and S. japonicum.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • Ecological challenges exist in translating the competitive interaction into practical control strategies.
Conclusion:
