ABSTRACT: Fascioliasis is a zoonosis of global distribution caused by the parasitic trematode Fasciola spp. Infection in humans can occur areas endemic for animal fascioliasis, suggesting need studies on this parasitosis and its determinants. This exploratory study aimed to analyze spatial bovine fascioliasis state Santa Catarina, Brazil, based cases notified between 2015 2017 abattoir, located...

Fasciola hepatica infestation is known to cause bile duct inflammation and biliary obstruction. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography shows distinct features in some patients with fascioliasis, but the condition may be overlooked in chronic cases. The endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatograpy images must be carefully examined to rule out other possible causes of irregularity and th...

Nine patients originated from Somalia, Ethiopia, or Yemen. Few cases have previously been reported from this area (3), although Ethiopian migrants have been shown to have an egg positivity of 0.4% on routine screening (4). Patients 5 and 6 had not returned to Africa for >20 years, suggesting that they acquired their infection in Europe. Therefore, a risk factor may exist that is specifi c to th...

ectopic thyroid tissue results from abnormal embryologic development and migration of the thyroid gland. true malignant transformation in ectopic thyroid tissue is extremely rare and is always diagnosed after surgical excision of the lesion by pathology examinations. there are well-documented cases of ectopic thyroid cancer while primary tumoral lesion occurs in the orthotopic thyroid, but only...

Fascioliasis is a worldwide but unevenly distributed zoonosis caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica that infects domesticated herbivores. also occurs accidentally in humans through ingestion of freshwater or aquatic plants laden with metacercariae. Human infections are common developing countries and not uncommon Europe, rare Algeria. The clinical evolution has been classically described tw...

Fascioliasis, an uncommon liver disease in children, is caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica. Its clinical and laboratory findings may mimic several disorders of the liver, including malignancies. Diagnosis is usually made by demonstrating the presence of the parasite in liver tissue or the stool, or by serology, but many children are diagnosed incidentally. Described here are the clinical...

Zoonotic trematode infections are an area of the neglected tropical diseases that have become of major interest to global and public health due to their associated morbidity. Human fascioliasis is a trematode zoonosis of interest in public health. It affects approximately 50 million people worldwide and over 180 million are at risk of infection both in developed and underdeveloped countries. Th...

Fascioliasis is a widely distributed parasitic zoonosis caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica that affects livestock production and generates high economic losses. In Chilean authorised abattoirs, infected livers are condemned during veterinary inspection. This study aims to evaluate prevalence of fascioliasis in Chile from 2014 2016 also monthly 2002 2015 (cattle, pig, sheep, horse goat) s...
