Two types of metacercariae of the genus Paragonimus from Costa Rica were differentiated through light microscopy. P. mexicanus and P. caliensis morphotypes were determined through SEM. Molecular analysis showed the presence of P. mexicanus and P. caliensis lung flukes in Costa Rica. Paragonimus caliensis is the third species from the Americas for which molecular and phylogenetic analyses have been done.
