The effects of trypsin, bile extract, temperature and acid-based condition for the in vitro excystation of Haplorchis taichui metacercariae were studied. At 37°C, approximately half the number of metacercariae excysted when exposed to 1% trypsin for 15 minutes with no more excystation found beyond t...
