    (National Center for Infectious Diseases, 2023) Mallawarachchi, C.H.; Dissanayake, M.M.; Hendavitharana, S.R.; Senanayake, S.; Gunathilaka, N.; Chandrasena, T.G.A.N.; Yahathugoda, T.C.; Wickramasinghe, S.; de Silva, N.R.
    Using histopathology and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 2 gene, we found >2 distinct trematode species that caused ocular trematode infections in children in Sri Lanka. Collaborations between clinicians and parasitologists and community awareness of water-related contamination hazards will promote diagnosis, control, and prevention of ocular trematode infections.
