Overview of fasciolosis: Biological, epidemiological, and clinical perspectives

Abraham Belete Temesgen , Tesfaye Mesfin

Fasciolosis (fascioliasis) is an important parasitic disease of both animals and humans, caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica. These liver flukes have a complex life cycle involving freshwater snails as intermediate hosts, with infection occurring through ingestion of metacercariae on contaminated vegetation or water.
