Objective]To prove that Fujian Province is also a natural focus of Pagumogonimus veocularis(Pv).[Methods]The adult worms were obtained from a cat fed with Pv metacercariae.[Results]Pv were found in Jianou,Fujian Province.All 1 873 Semisulcospira libertina showed negative.The positive rate of Tricula fujianensis and Erhaia jianouenensis were 0.10%(1/695) and 0.25%(5/2 038), respectively. The main crab host was S.fujianensis.Ps alone and mixed infection with Pv were found in the Sinopotamon ,the infection rates were 36.8%(43/117)and 20.5%(24/117), respectively. The numbers of the metacercariae were 806 and 40, respectively. A cat was infected with 12 metacercariae of Pv , eggs were found in the stool 56 days after infection,and 6 worms were found in the lungs 68 days after infection. [Conclusion]Fujian is one of the natural focus of Pv, cat is the adequate host. The fluke was identified as Pv according to the characteristics of the metacercariae.
