Description

Trematodes are tiny parasites that live for years in the liver, lungs and even the brains of at least 40 million people worldwide.

We get infected by eating freshwater fish and shellfish – and it’s very hard to detect and cure.

Millions of dollars a year are wasted on treating the wrong disease. We travel to Vietnam to see how this disease is easily transmitted, especially to children.

This film is one of 57 x 25-minute documentaries produced for the BBC in the multiple series KILL OR CURE. These films can be bought individually or as a series.
