Imaging findings of human hepatic fascioliasis: a case report and review of the literature
Background Fascioliasis is a food-borne hepatobiliary zoonosis caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Human infestations are predominantly seen in developing countries where the disease is endemic, but, due to the increase in international ...

Differences in the compatibility of infection between the liver flukes Fascioloides magna and Fasciola hepatica in a Colombian population of the snail Galba sp. [PDF]
Experimental infections of Galba sp. (origin, Colombia) with allopatric isolates of Fasciola hepatica from France or Fascioloides magna from the Czech Republic were carried out during five successive snail generations to determine if this lymnaeid might ...

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

Triosephosphate isomerase from Fasciola hepatica: high‐resolution crystal structure as a drug target
The 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 ...
