This book chapter describes the pathology (prehepatic stages, hepatic stages, other host species), clinical aspects, effects on blood components, pathophysiology and metabolic aspects, effects on metabolism, and pathogenesis of Fasciola infection.

This book chapter illustrates the interactions of epidemiological factors that increase the possibility of small liver fluke disease.

This book chapter reports on what they know so far about the main route of drug entry into F. hepatica. Finally, when they face the risk of drug resistance in Fasciola spp., they are looking at how to determine when a population of parasites has become resistant for a given drug and how they have...

This book chapter tests the immune system response in ruminants naturally infected with F. hepatica and compare the results of these research with research obtained through experiments of rodent models.

This book chapter focuses on the basis and usefulness of the statement of the diagnostic methods for fascioliasis, correlating them with pathological events occurring by time of infection.

This book chapter discusses the progression of fascioliasis vaccine research, as well as commercial considerations in fascioliasis vaccines development and characteristics of commercial vaccines.

This chapter describes the epidemiology of fascioliasis, with it being evident that its epidemiology varies widely in different regions and in some areas humans are the main reservoir of infection.

This book consists of 14 chapters that deal with modern technologies applied to learn more about the molecular biology of liver flukes, biochemistry, metabolism, immunology, immunopathology and genetics of Fasciola. In addition, this book seeks to have a better understanding of global importance of ...

This chapter focuses on haemonchosis and nematodirosis in sheep in temperate regions. Subject headings are: parasite biology, pathology and pathophysiology; coinfections among abomasal nematodes; clinical observations; host responses; nutritional influences; periparturient period; larval ecology;...

This chapter gives an overview about: ruminants as final hosts; life cycle; Oribatid mites as intermediate hosts for Moniezia species; pathogenicity of Moniezia infections; experimental infections; responses to differential anthelmintic treatment; diagnosis; control of Moniezia species in sheep and ...
