Fasciola hepatica (F. hepatica) as a foodborne trematode can occasionally cause hepatobiliary diseases. We report a 67-year-old woman who was referred to our center because of the diagnosis of cholangitis. She was a resident of mountainous area with the history of unsafe water and contaminated vegetables. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed as a diagnostic and th...

background: the trematodes of the genus fasciola (the liver flukes) are among the well-known instances of food-borne parasites worldwide. differentiation of fasciola species is important because of their different transmission and epidemio-logical characteristics. the current study was undertaken to discriminate fasciola species in the domestic ruminants of urmia city, iran. methods: adult fluk...

Experimental infections of Egyptian Radix natalensis with French miracidia of Fasciola hepatica were carried out to determine if this snail might act as an intermediate host in the life cycle of this digenean in Egypt. Single exposures of R. natalensis to miracidia (2/snail) and two successive exposures (a total of 4 miracidia/ snail) were performed using lymnaeids measuring 1 to 6 mm in height...

the liver fluke, fasciola hepatica, is considered as the most common cause of fasciolosis in both domestic livestock and human. this study was carried out to detect the prevalence of the larval stages of f. hepatica in the snails galba truncatula and lymnaea stagnalis in west azarbaijan, iran. snail collection was performed through searching 28 freshwater habitats from may to december 2010. fol...

the liver fluke fasciola hepatica causes fascioliasis, a liver disease in most part of the world and particularly in north of iran. diagnosis of the diseases is anchored in coprological manner but serological methods are preferable due to some obscurities. in this study, sera obtained from human patients infected with fasciola hepatica were tested by the enzymelinked immunotrotransfer blot (eit...

Siendo la fasciolosis una infección parasitaria importante en rumiantes de muchos países y dada alta prevalencia humanos animales Cajamarca, Perú, se planteó realizar el estudio sobre perfil las proteínas intestino Fasciola hepatica con objetivo conocer número rango pH secreción/excreción del parásito que expresa mediante método electroforesis 2D-bidimensional. Las muestras adultas F. recolecta...

Fasciola hepatica is a trematode that causes zoonosis, mainly in cattle and sheep, and occasionally in humans. Few recent studies have determined the infection status of this fluke in Korea. In August 2015, we collected 402 samples of freshwater snails at Hoenggye-ri (upper stream) and Suha-ri (lower stream) of Song-cheon (stream) in Daegwalnyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun in Gangwon-do (Province)...

understanding genetic structure and status of genetic variation of fasciola hepatica isolates from different hosts, has important implications on epidemiology and effective control of fasciolosis. random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd-pcr) was used to study the genetic variation of f. hepatica in sheep and cattle. dna was extracted from adult helminthes removed from livers of each infected ani...

A patient who had a migratory cutaneous nodule and tumor removed for the second time was diagnosed as having the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica. In this article, we present a case report of this peculiar manifestation of fascioliasis, as well as a general overview of the disease.
