Multiplex PCR and Sequence Analysis to Investigate Genetic Diversity of Fasciola Isolates from Cattle and Sheep in Turkey

Pathogens, 2022
Fasciolosis is a highly prevalent helminthic infection caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica. With the aim of identifying hybrid Fasciola flukes, multiplex PCR was performed to amplify the pepck gene. Furthermore, to determine Fasciola haplotypes,

Diagnotic value of some Fasciola gigantica antigens [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2013
The present study was aimed to select the specificity of antigens for Fasciola gigantica depending on its diagnostic utility and field applications. The tested antigens were coproantigen, excretory-secretory (ES) antigen and egg antigen. Coproantigen and Copro Hyperimmune serum were able to reflect the lowest level of cross-reaction with other tested F.

High-Resolution Melting Analysis as an Appropriate Method to Differentiate between Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2019
Background: Fasciolosis is a shared disease between humans and livestock caused by hepatic trematodes; Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica. Differentiate between the two species of this genus is essential. High-Resolution Melting (HRM) Analysis represents

Pathological and Epidemiological Assessment of Trematode Burden in Ruminants From Central Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
• Trematode infections were highly prevalent (49.22%) among ruminants in central Ethiopia, with fasciolosis (32.42%) and paramphistomosis (16.80%) strongly associated with poor body condition and specific geographic origins. • Histopathological and haematological analyses revealed severe liver and intestinal damage, anaemia, and elevated liver enzymes,

The Effectiveness of Postharvest Processing on Microbiological Safety of Game Meat—A Systematic Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

Potential Hybridization of Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica in Africa—A Scoping Review

Pathogens, 2022
The occurrence of Fasciola gigantica and F. hepatica in Africa is well documented; however, unlike in Asia, there is a paucity of information on the existence of hybrids or parthenogenetic species on the continent.
