Abstract:  Objective To improve Paragonimus westermani chromosome preparation technique. Methods After being exposed to colchicine, the gonadal cells of P.westermani were treated by the following procedures: hypotonicity, fixation, dropping onto a slide and staining. Results The chromosome number of P. westermani is 22,and the karyotype is 2m+6Sm+14t chromosome. Conclusion The improved technique of chromosome preparation is feasible to operate and the chromosome is clear enough for karyotype analysis.

Key words: Paragonimus westermani, chromosome, karyotype
