Plagiorchis vespertillionis, also sometimes listed as Plagiorchis vespertilionis, is a species of trematode that parasitizes bats. It was described as a new species in 1780 based on specimens collected from a brown long-eared bat in Denmark.[1] In 2007, it was documented within a human host for the first time.[2]
