The endemic disease refers to the mysterious disease "Japanese Schistosomiasis" that started in Yamanashi Prefecture around the 20th year of the Meiji era (1887-1896) and struck the Kofu Basin. It was later discovered that this disease was a parasite that used the Japanese oyster as an intermediate host, but for 115 years, it caused the villagers to fear the unknown disease, which caused the liver to enlarge, the abdomen to swell, and then death. However, the villagers and the government stepped up, and many doctors, including Junsaku Yoshioka, stepped up to solve the problem. I hope you will enjoy this documentary that depicts the long battle between humans and parasites. [Recommended parasite-related videos] Forest Assassin!
