The adult forms of F. buski have an elongated shape and range from 20 to 75 mm long and 8 to 20 mm wide. They have an oral sucker at the anterior end and a ventral sucker lo-cated approximately midway to the posterior. F. buski is found in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam and is prevalent in school-aged children. Contaminated feces drain into the water from farmlands, where feces is used for fertilization, and defecation occurs in or near water sources. Reservoir hosts include pigs, dogs, and rabbits.
