Abstract Fascioliasis is a food-borne parasitic disease that affects a range of animals, including humans caused by Fasciola hepatica. The present study aimed to determine the spatial distribution of bovine fasciolosis and to assess the correlation between the high Positivity Index (PI) and climate data ...

Abstract The aim of this research was to assess the copro-prevalence of Fasciola hepatica in owned Chilean breed horses (Equus caballus) residing in the province of Concepción, Chile. The study was carried out throughout October 2017. Samples were taken from all (100%) Chilean breed horse (124 specimens...
El diagnóstico de fasciolosis humana, enfermedad zoonótica causada por el parásito Fasciola hepatica reúne los resultados de las técnicas: concentración por sedimentación (copa-cónica), FasciDIG en heces y FasciDIG en suero, además de los criterios clínico-epidemiológicos. FasciDIG constituye ...
Abstract Fasciola hepatica is a parasite introduced in America from Europe, being considered of concern for public health and animal production, especially in countries with endemic areas as occur in Chile. In this country, the research has been focused mainly in domestic ruminants, with native and intro...
Abstract Currently, albendazole is one of the most commonly used drugs because of its affordability. The objective was to evaluate the histopathology of Fasciola hepatica specimens. For this, the efficacy test was performed on sheep treated with albendazole at the dose recommended for F. hepatica, in wh...

Fascioliasis is a parasitic disease produced mainly by the fluke Fasciola hepatica. The human infection
is mainly due to the accidental intake of metacercariae present in watercress and/or contaminated water.
The human disease is uncommon in Chile, despite the high prevalence of animal infection, which a...
RESUMEN Introducción: La fasciolosis representa un grave problema para el sector pecuario y la salud humana en muchos países. En Colombia, afecta principalmente al ganado bovino y ovino, con escasos reportes en humanos. Objetivo: Estandarizar un Ensayo de Inmunoadsorción Enzimática para bovinos, ov...
