fascioliasis

Transmission capacity of fascioliasis to humans and to animals is high.

Artemether has been shown to be effective in a rat model of fascioliasis.

The disease caused by the fluke is called fascioliasis (also known as fasciolosis).

At least 20 species of Lymnaeidae have been described as potential vectors of fascioliasis.

In fact, fascioliasis is one of the major causes of hypereosinophilia in France.

Galba truncatula is the vector mainly involved in fascioliasis transmission to humans.

Several drugs are effective in chemotherapy of fascioliasis, both in humans and in domestic animals.

A subdivision of Fascioliasis called Halzoun Syndrome affects the throat (pharynx).

Fasciola gigantica is a parasitic flatworm of the class Trematoda, which causes tropical fascioliasis.

Galba neotropica is the vector typically responsible for fascioliasis (liver fluke) livestock infection.

More recently, Mirazid, an Egyptian drug made from myrrh, has been investigated as an oral treatment of trematode-caused ailments including fascioliasis.

At the level of intermediate hosts of Fasciola gigantica, the conditions are thus favorable in Egypt to transmit fascioliasis.

These signs may be accompanied by diarrhoea or anaemia due to concurrent gastrointestinal trichostrongy trichostrongylosis or fascioliasis.

The effects of liver flukes are referred to as fascioliasis, and include anaemia, weight loss and submandibular oedema; diarrhoea is only an occasional consequence.

Liver fluke disease Fasciolosis Halzoun Syndrome Fascioliasis is a rare infectious disorder caused by parasites.

Fasciola gigantica is a causative agents (together with Fasciola hepatica) of fascioliasis in ruminants and in humans worldwide.

The term "neglected tropical diseases" applies to all snail-borne infections, including schistosomiasis, fascioliasis, fasciolopsiasis, paragonimiasis, opisthorchiasis, clonorchiasis, and angiostrongyliasis.

Unlike the similar species Galba truncatula, Galba schirazensis does not transfer Fasciola hepatica (it is unable to transmit fascioliasis).

Urticaria can be a complication and symptom of a parasitic infection, such as fascioliasis (Fasciola hepatica) and ascariasis (Ascaris lumbricoides).

The most emblematic case of parasite transmitted by lymnaeids is Fasciola hepatica (Digenea: Fasciolidae), the agent of fascioliasis.

Where there is more extensive liver damage there may be ascites, but it is only when there is massive invasion, comparable to acute fascioliasis in sheep, that death occurs.

Anti-P1 titers are often elevated in patients with liver flukes (fascioliasis), hydatid cyst disease and who are frequently exposed to birds (which may have P1-like substances in their excrement).

"DNA sequence characterisation and phylogeography of Lymnaea cousini and related species, vectors of fascioliasis in northern Andean countries, with description of L. meridensis n. sp.

Fasciolosis also known as Fascioliasis, Fasciolasis, distomatosis and liver rot, is an important helminth disease caused by two trematodes Fasciola hepatica (the common liver fluke) and Fasciola gigantica.

The World Health Organization (WHO) list of neglected tropical diseases also adds the following additional diseases: Cysticercosis, Dengue/dengue haemorrhagic fever, Echinococcosis, Fascioliasis, Rabies, Yaws; and includes two other 'neglected' conditions': Podoconiosis (also known as elephantiasis) and Snakebite.
