Paragonimus kerberti n.sp. (hitherto undescribed) is reported from the lungs of artificially infected cat (Felis catus Linnaeus, 1758) from Cameroon. Its description is based on the morphology of adult worms but also, on the dimension of fresh, living eggs released from experimentally infected cats (in the metraterm of mature worms, or laid by living worm), length of prepatent period and duration of eggs incubation.
