Life-history of Fasciola gigantica Cobbold 1856
Nature, 1953FOLLOWING the elucidation by Thomas1 of the life-history of Fasciola hepatica, numerous investigations have established the important aspects of the relationship between the fluke and its snail hosts. By contrast, knowledge of the related F. gigantica is extremely limited, and in many parts of the world even the identity of its vectors has not been ...

International Journal for Parasitology, 1980Abstract Umezurike G. M. and Anya A. O. 1980. Carbohydrate energy metabolism in Fasciola gigantica (Trematoda). International Journal for Parasitology10: 175–180. Adult Fasciola gigantica contained 4.49 ± 0.06 % (mean ± S.D.) wet weight glycogen. Tissue homogenates contained high levels of malate dehydrogenase (MDH), NAD-linked malic enzyme (ME),

Fasciola gigantica: surface topography of the adult tegument
Journal of Helminthology, 2001Adult Fasciola gigantica are leaf-shaped with tapered anterior and posterior ends and measure about 35 mm in length and 15 mm in width across the mid section. Under the scanning electron microscope its surface appears rough due to the presence of numerous spines and surface foldings. Both oral and ventral suckers have thick rims covered with transverse

Genetic characterisation of Fasciola gigantica from Ghana
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2018Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica are the causal agents of the zoonotic food-born disease fascioliasis. Africa is primarily endemic to F. gigantica, although sympatric presence of F. hepatica is known for some countries. The present situation of fascioliasis in western Africa, and Ghana in particular, is still poorly understood, and studies ...

Camel: a new Egyptian host for Fasciola gigantica
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2000F. gigantica is a known liver fluke in Egypt. Infection has been reported in sheep, goats, buffaloes, cows and donkeys. Human cases have been reported from several governorates. This paper records camels as an additional host for F. gigantica in Egypt. In such materials worms attained a length of 6.0-6.3 cm.

Characterization and expression of cathepsin B2 in Fasciola gigantica
Experimental Parasitology, 2012Fasciola gigantica cathepsin B belongs to a family of cysteine proteases which is involved in invasion of host tissues. In this study, the recombinant cathepsin B2 (rFgCatB2), synthesized in Pichia pastoris, showed enzymatic activity on a fluorometric substrate Z-Phe-Arg-AMC and gelatin. Furthermore, this recombinant enzyme could degrade IgG and type I

Fasciola gigantica: Purification and characterization of adenosine deaminase
Experimental Parasitology, 2008Nucleotidase cascades (apyrase, 5' nucleotidase, and adenosine deaminase (ADA) were investigated in the parasitic trematode Fasciola gigantica. ADA had the highest activity in the nucleotidase cascades. Adenosine deaminase was purified from F. gigantica through acetone precipitation and chromatography on CM-cellulose.
