An expressed sequence tag survey of gene expression in the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis, an intermediate vector of Fasciola hepatica [PDF]
, 2005 The pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis is an intermediate vector for the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, a common parasite of ruminants and humans. Yet, despite being a disease of medical and economic importance, as well as a potentially useful comparative tool,

Prevalence of Fasciola gigantica infection in slaughtered animals in south-eastern Lake Chad area in relation to husbandry practices and seasonal water levels [PDF]
, 2014 Fasciolosis has been described in sub-Saharan Africa in many accounts, but the latest reports from Chad are from the 1970s. Mobile pastoralists perceive liver parasites as a significant problem and think that proximity to Lake Chad can lead to infection.

Immunoelectrophoresis for Fasciola hepatica
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1979 In an attempt to investigate the specific antigenic substance of Fasciola hepatica, Ouchterlony tests and immunoelectrophoretic analyses were carried out. Crude Fasciola antigen was prepared and fractionated by Sephadex G-200 column to Antigen I, II and III according to protein content.

Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, 2013 AbstractFasciola is 15–30-mm long, flat, liver trematode that is endemic in sheep-raising regions. Consumption of raw aquatic vegetables such as watercress contaminated with metacercariae is the main cause of infection. The disease has three stages: an acute invasive, chronic latent, and chronic obstructive phase.
