Gastrodiscoides hominis

''Gastrodiscoides hominis'' is a zoonotic helminth parasite belonging to a class of flatworms Trematoda. This is the only species in the genus Gastrodiscoides.It is primarily an intestinal fluke of pig, but also infect other vertebrates including human. In fact the first specimen was described from human subject in 1876, and constitute an important parasite of human in Bangladesh, India, Burma, China, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Volga Delta in Russia. In India, it is particularly rampant in Assam, Bengal, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh. Isolated cases are also reported from Africa, such as Nigeria.
Sometimes also known as colonic fluke, it infects the colon of pigs, rhesus monkey, orang-utan, fish, field rats and Napu mouse deer. But in case of humans the worms are attached on the wall of the caecum. Humans are considered an accidental host because the parasite can survive without humans. It causes a helminthic disease called gastrodiscoidiasis.
==Discovery==

Even though humans are not the natural hosts, ''G. humanis'' is unique among helminths because it was first discovered and described from human infection. In 1876, T.R. Lewis and J. McConnell identified from the caecum of an Assamese man in India and named it ''Amphistomum hominis''. Nomenclature was revised by R.T. Leiper in 1913 as ''Gastrodiscoides humanis'', with an invention of the new genus. It was correctly identified in 1939 by J.J.C. Buckley, then a Milner Research Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. His report was the pioneer description of the life cycle of the fluke and prevalence of gastrodiscoidiasis.〔 From a survey of three villages in Assam, he found a surprisingly high incidence, over 40% of the population was infected. It was Buckley more than anyone who was responsible for the formal classification of this parasite.
