Opisthorchiidae is a family of digenean trematodes. Opisthorchiidae have cosmopolitan distribution.[1]
The most medically important species in the family Opisthorchiidae are Clonorchis sinensis, Opisthorchis viverrini, and Opisthorchis felineus,[1] that are causes of the disease clonorchiasis.[1]
Some species are parasites of economically important fish, e.g. Clarias gariepinus.[2]
