A consideration of the chemotherapy of trematode infections of man will invariably be unevenly distributed with respect to the parasites involved. The great preponderance of attention must be devoted to the blood flukes or schistosomes, because of their great medical importance and because so much is known about their treatment. The remaining flukes, having various degrees of medical importance and having a lesser body of therapeutic lore, can be covered more briefly.
