Genetic diversity and geographic distribution of Fasciola species from cattle in eight provinces of South Africa

Scientific Reports
Fasciolosis, caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica, is a globally significant parasitic disease affecting livestock and humans. Both species exist in South Africa, however, information on their geographical distribution and genetic diversity

A Consistent PCR-RFLP Assay Based on ITS-2 Ribosomal DNA for Differentiation of Fasciola Species [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2013
Objective(s): Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by liver fluke species of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Differentiation of these two species, based on their morphological characteristics, is difficult.

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,

Major Causes of Organ Condemnation and Their Financial Losses in Cattle Slaughtered at Jinka Municipal Abattoir, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study identifies fasciolosis and hydatidosis as significant causes of organ condemnation in cattle at Jinka Municipal Abattoir, Ethiopia, with an overall rejection rate of 18.6%. The estimated annual economic loss from these diseases is 56,150 ETB.

Evidences That Host Genetic Background More Than the Environment Shapes the Microbiota of the Snail Bulinus truncatus, an Intermediate Host of Schistosoma Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbiota have emerged as fundamental regulators of host physiology, shaping both ecological interactions and evolutionary trajectories. Yet, the determinants of microbiota diversity and structure in wild populations—particularly the respective roles of host genetics and environmental context—are still poorly understood.

Infestation by fasciola hepatica.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 2002
Although Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke, Lewerbot) is essentially a parasite of herbivorous animals, especially sheep and cattle, in which it causes the disease known as 'liver rot', it has been reported in man as an erratic infestation. The recent recognition of 2 human cases, one presenting with massive haemorrhage from the liver into the intestine ...

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity–Climate–Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco‐Evolutionary and One Health Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Freshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, and health. I argue that their ecological plasticity, reproductive diversity, and role as parasite hosts make them powerful yet overlooked model systems for integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics with One Health challenges.
