Hepatic Calcification Due to Fasciola gigantica
Archives of Surgery, 1974A woman, who had lived in equatorial Africa, complained of pain in the right hypochondrium. Roentgenography revealed a calcified mass in the liver. The mass was removed surgically and was found to contain eggs ofFasciola gigantica, a fluke that rarely infests humans.

Carbohydrate energy metabolism in Fasciola gigantica (trematoda)
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),

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 ...

Serodiagnosis of Fasciola gigantica infection in buffaloes
Veterinary Parasitology, 1987The agar gel precipitation test (AGPT), counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP) and indirect haemagglutination (IHA) were evaluated for the diagnosis of fascioliasis due to Fasciola gigantica in buffaloes. The sensitivity of these tests varied with the intensity of infection; and was greatest when the fluke burden in liver exceeded 100.

Experimental infection of calves with Fasciola gigantica
Experimental Parasitology, 1969Abstract Oral infection of 8-month-old calves with 500, 1000, and 10,000 metacercaria of Fasciola gigantica caused recognizable clinical signs in all animals. The percentage of the inoculum that became established varied between 12.55 and 46.6%. All animals given a single dose of 10,000 metacercaria died; one of the four given 1000 metacercaria died ...

Identification and expression of Fasciola gigantica thioredoxin
Parasitology Research, 2014In the present study, a cDNA encoding Trx from F. gigantica (FgTrx) was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The sequence of FgTrx, analyzed by BLAST, SignalP, and ClustralW programs, showed 315 bp of an open reading frame (ORF), 12 bp 5'UTR, 78 bp 3'UTR, and the putative FgTrx peptide comprising of 104 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 11 ...

Fasciola gigantica Cobbold 1856 in the Snail
The Journal of Parasitology, 1976Intramolluscan stages of Fasciola gigantica were followed experimentally in laboratory-reared Lymnaea natalensis, from the time of miracidial entry until the 85th day. Contrary to previous accounts, the miracidium was found to metamorphose directly into a first-generation redia during the first 4 days.

Functional analysis of novel aquaporins from Fasciola gigantica
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2011Fascioliasis, caused by liver flukes of the genus Fasciola, is an important disease of ruminants. In order to identify a potential new drug target we have studied aquaporin (AQP) in Fasciola gigantica. AQPs facilitate the transport of water, glycerol and other small solutes across biological membranes.

Biological control of Fasciola gigantica with Echinostoma revolutum
Veterinary Parasitology, 2006A field trial was carried out in West Java to investigate the potential for control of fasciolosis of antagonism between larvae of Fasciola gigantica and Echinostoma revolutum in Lymnaea rubiginosa. The trial was undertaken in 26 farmers' irrigated rice fields, each chosen because it was adjacent to a cattle pen the effluent from which flowed into or ...

Biliary Fasciola gigantica case report from Turkey.
The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health, 2011We present a case of Fasciola gigantica-induced biliary obstruction and cholestasis diagnosed and treated via endoscopy and trichlorobendazole treatment. This is the first case of Fasciola gigantica treated via endoscopic biliary extraction during ERCP and drug treatment reported from Turkey.
