Experimentally induced infection of host species that occur in Korea in a laboratory setting include:[5]

From miracidia to cercaria, i.e. as a primary intermediate host:

From cercaria to metacercaria, i.e. as a second intermediate host:

and to a very small extent, due to the mostly lethal effect of the infection,
