| | The efficacy and tolerability of triclabendazole (TCZ) was assessed in a clinical phase 2 study. | | | Triclabendazole is an effective therapy for the treatment of F. hepatica infection in patients who have failed to respond to other antihelminthic agents. | | | Efficacy of treatment was assessed by stool microscopy, determination of fasciola excretory-secretory antigen in feces, and by ultrasonography. |

| | Fasciola is in the order Echinostomida which is a diverse group in which the tegument of the adult worms often contain spines and there is often 2 intermediate hosts. | | | Other methods of control are mainly centred on good animal husbandry practices, in particular keeping animals away from open water where the snail intermediate host is to be found. | | | Fasciola hepatica, also known as the liver fluke, is a well known parasite because it is one of the largest of the flukes measuring 30 x 13 mm. |
