Liver Lesions, Fever and Eosinophilia Caused by Fasciola hepatica in a 15-year-old Girl

Recognition Pattern of the Fasciola hepatica Excretome/Secretome during the Course of an Experimental Infection in Sheep by 2D Immunoproteomics

“…The initial migration represents the acute phase of the infection, which is characterized by internal liver lesions, hemorrhage and a variety of cellular and humoral inflammatory responses [5,6]. The chronic phase of the infection comprises the stage of the parasite in the bile ducts and corresponds with anemia and weight loss [7], together with changes in blood parameters [8]. However, in most cases of infection in sheep and cattle the parasitic burden is low, and the disease remains asymptomatic [9].…”

Wide variation of heterozygotic genotypes of recent fasciolid hybrids from livestock in Bangladesh assessed by rDNA internal transcribed spacer region sequencing and cloning

“…In Bangladesh, there have only been two human fascioliasis reports, one of a 22-year-old Bangladeshi women diagnosed at a London hospital [ 17 ] and another of a 35-year-old house-wife from Jamalpur [ 18 ]. This contrasts, however, with the number of human infection cases reported in zones of other countries neighboring Bangladesh, such as India including West Bengal [ 19 , 20 ], Assam [ 21 ] and Arunachal Pradesh [ 19 ], Nepal [ [22] , [23] , [24] ] and Myanmar [ 25 ] ( Fig. 1 ).…”

Human Fascioliasis: Diagnosis by Typical Computed Tomography Features and Response to Nitazoxanide in 16 Patients from India
