Confirmation of Galba truncatula as an intermediate host snail for Calicophoron daubneyi in Great Britain, with evidence of alternative snail species hosting Fasciola hepatica [PDF]

Parasites and Vectors, 2015
Background Fasciola hepatica is a highly prevalent parasite infecting livestock in Great Britain, while Calicophoron daubneyi is an emerging parasite within the GB livestock industry. Both F. hepatica and C. daubneyi require an intermediate host snail to

Study of surface carbohydrates in Galba truncatula tissues before and after infection with Fasciola hepatica [PDF]

Memorias Do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016
The presence and distribution of surface carbohydrates in the tissues of Galba truncatula snails uninfected or after infection with Fasciola hepatica as well as on the surface of the snail-pathogenic larval stages of the parasite were studied by lectin ...

Identification of factors associated with Fasciola hepatica infection risk areas on pastures via an environmental DNA survey of Galba truncatula distribution using droplet digital and quantitative real‐time PCR assays

Environmental DNA
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful tool for identifying the spatial and temporal presence and density of species in a range of aquatic habitats. The analysis of eDNA has a wide range of application, one of which may be to inform of Fasciola hepatica ...

Multi‐Environment Quantification of Parasite and Intermediate Host DNA on Pasture for Fine‐Scale Disease Risk Assessment

Environmental DNA
Parasite transmission occurs in complex environments comprising multiple matrices. Trematode parasites of ruminant livestock such as the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica and the rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi, show affinity with freshwater environments

Pleistocene environments, climate, and human activity in Britain during Marine Isotope Stage 7: insights from Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 840-865, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Investigations at Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire, in western England have revealed a sequence of fluvial deposits dating from Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 7 to 5. At the base of the sequence, a series of gravel and sand facies were deposited, initially as part of a meandering river.

Is the Ollerenshaw fasciolosis forecasting model fit for the 21st century?

Veterinary Record, Volume 193, Issue 1, 8/15 July 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The Ollerenshaw forecasting model is based on rainfall and evapotranspiration and has been in use to predict losses from fasciolosis since 1959. We evaluated the performance of the model against observed data. Methods Weather data were used to calculate, map and plot fasciolosis risk values for each year from 1950 to 2019.

Morphological and molecular characterization of Fasciola isolates from livestock in Golestan province, northern Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 1824-1832, July 2023., 2023
The aim of the present study was to identify Fasciola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica and the intermediate/hybrid forms of Fasciola isolates from livestock in Golestan province, northern Iran, using morphometric and molecular tools. From a total of 110 Fasciola isolates collected from 94 sheep, 12 cattle and 4 goats, 72 isolates (65.4%) were identified as

Integrative taxonomy: combining molecular and morphological characteristics to identify Lymnaea (Galba) cubensis, intermediate host of Fasciola hepatica

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
Despite the epidemiological importance of the Lymnaeidae family regarding transmission of Fasciola hepatica, knowledge about the diversity and distribution of these molluscs and the role of each species in the expansion of fasciolosis remains sparse ...
