First Report of Fascioliasis of Ruminants in the Kharaa River Basin and Identification of Snail Hosts in Mongolia. [PDF]
Vet Med IntFascioliasis is a parasitic liver disease of mammals induced by liver flukes, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Fasciola spp. rely on their definitive hosts, ruminants, and intermediate hosts, snails, to survive and can incidentally infect humans as definitive hosts. Ruminant (goat, sheep, and cattle) liver and fecal samples were collected from
