<unk> , also known as trematode infections, are a group of diseases caused by the parasite trematodes. Symptoms can range from mild to severe depending on the species, number and location of trematodes in the infected organism. Symptoms depend on type of trematode present, and include chest and abdominal pain, high temperature, digestion issues, cough and shortness of breath, diarrhoea and change in appetite.<unk>  can be transmitted through food or water that contains larval forms of the parasite. Infections can be transmitted through aquatic organisms which act as a host for the maturity of the parasite. Foodborne<unk>  is transmitted when organisms ingest contaminated undercooked food including aquatic plants and organisms.<unk>  can be prevented and controlled through public health programs aimed to educate people about how contaminated water and food can lead to infections. Education programs include raising awareness about the transmission of<unk>  through the consumption of food that is not cooked well such as fish, molluscs, and other aquatic animals and plants. Sanitation and distribution of clean water is also used to control the spread of<unk>  on a larger scale. Foodborne<unk>  that infect the lung, liver and intestines are classified as a neglected tropical disease. Cases of<unk>  that can be transmitted through food has affected over 70 countries globally, with the most impacted countries located in Latin America and Asia. In 2018, the World Health Organization declared that there are approximately 200,000 cases of<unk>  that are caused by four species of trematodes. The majority of cases of foodborne<unk>  are from East and Southeast Asia.
