A contemporary map of Fasciola hepatica distribution in sheep and cattle in New South Wales. [PDF]
Aust Vet JFasciola hepatica is a global threat to livestock production, human health, and food security. Infection causes significant reductions in milk production and quality, feed conversion efficiency, wool quality, and reproductive performance. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, data on the distribution of F. hepatica are more than 50 years out of date and

Triosephosphate isomerase from Fasciola hepatica: high-resolution crystal structure as a drug target. [PDF]
Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol CommunThe high‐resolution crystal structure of triosephosphate isomerase from F. hepatica was solved at 1.51 Å resolution in its monoclinic form, revealing details of the dimer interface critical for enzyme function. Molecular docking with the fasciolocide triclabendazole suggests selective binding near nonconserved residues, highlighting this enzyme as a ...

Molecular characterization of Fasciola spp. from ruminants in Duhok province using the ITS1 ribosomal DNA marker [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2023 This study aimed to characterize and identify the genotypes of Fasciola spp. isolated from sheep, goats, and cattle in Duhok province based on the ITS1 region of rDNA. About 54 adult Fasciola flukes were individually isolated from the livers of naturally

Assessment of genetic markers for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of Fasciola isolates from Iran
Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023 Background Several markers have been described to characterise the population structure and genetic diversity of Fasciola species (Fasciola hepatica (F. hepatica) and Fasciola gigantica (F. gigantica). However, sequence analysis of a single genomic locus

Prevalence of liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) in wild Red Deer (Cervus elaphus): coproantigen ELISA is a practicable alternative to faecal egg counting for surveillance in remote populations [PDF]
, 2016 Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are hosts of liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica); yet, prevalence is rarely quantified in wild populations. Testing fresh samples from remote regions by faecal examination (FE) can be logistically challenging; hence, we appraise ...
