Using post-genomics technologies to advance understanding of liver fluke therapeutics
… 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 intensification of farming), highlight the requirement for a better understanding of drug resistance mechanisms and for novel …

Characterisation of the Fasciola hepatica miRNome and an evaluation of its role in the host-parasite relationship
The liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, is recognised as one of the most successful parasites worldwide due to its remarkable capacity to infect every mammal it encounters. For this reason, liver fluke disease, or fasciolosis, has the widest geographical spread of any parasite disease and contributes …
