More than 750 million people are at risk of infection with foodborne liver flukes. Opisthorchis viverrini is considered among the most important of these parasites, due to its strong association with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). O. viverrini infection results in a chronic inflammatory challenge to the

## Abstract We describe an innovative strategy to quantify risk of cancer associated with varying levels of exposure to chronic parasitic infection through the identification of asymptomatic cases of cholangiocarcinoma within a populationβbased survey of __Opisthorchis viverrini__ infection. Stool
## Abstract Infection with __Opisthorchis viverrini__ (OV) is associated with cholangiocarcinoma. OV is common in northeast Thailand, but less than 10% of the inhabitants develop cholangiocarcinoma. Animal experiments suggest that OV infection alone does not cause cholangiocarcinoma, and thus other
