Characterisation of the Fasciola hepatica miRNome and an evaluation of its role in the host-parasite relationship
… For this reason, liver fluke disease, or fasciolosis, has the widest geographical spread of any parasite disease and contributes to significant animal loss, particularly within the agricultural sector. Since the discovery of the post-transcriptional regulation of genes by micro(mi)RNA in …

Liver fluke development: a target for parasite control?
Fasciolosis, a debilitating disease caused by flatworm parasites belonging to the genus Fasciola, is a prominent threat to global food security due to its widespread infection of agriculturally significant ruminants. Recent studies have identified a population of proliferative cells within Fasciola …

Using post-genomics technologies to advance understanding of liver fluke therapeutics
… of US$ every year. The treatment of fascioliasis/fasciolosis relies heavily on Triclabendazole (TCBZ), the only flukicide active against immature and mature stages of the liver fluke. Widespread reports of drug resistance coupled with increasing infection forecasts (due to climate change and the …

Probing the biology of liver fluke-flukicide interplay
Fasciolosis, caused by liver fluke parasites of genus Fasciola, is responsible for reducing global agricultural yield in livestock animals and is a neglected tropical disease of humans. A limited portfolio of flukicide drugs are available, however treatment of the highly pathogenic acute stage is …

Fasciola hepatica cystatins: recombinant production, biochemical characterisation and efficacy as vaccines
Fasciolosis, resulting from infection with the digenetic trematode (flatworm) Fasciola hepatica, is of major global economic importance in ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, and is now recognised as an important zoonosis. Following ingestion by the mammalian host, the parasite migrates through …

Comparison of host-parasite relationships of Fasciola gigantica infection in cattle (Bos indicus) and swamp buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
… of future approaches for the control of tropical fasciolosis requires an understanding of the host-parasite relationships. This study was therefore undertaken to look at and compare the hostparasite interactions of F. gigantica infection between cattle (Bos indicus) and swamp buffaloes (Bubalus …
