 | | It was concluded that under the conditions of the present experiment, while feed intake and digestibility coefficients were not affected, rates of liveweight changes were negatively affected by fascioliasis. | | | In conclusion, this study demonstrated that under the conditions of the present experiment (adult menz sheep with probable acquired immunity), feed intake and digestibility coefficients were not affected by fascioliasis. | | | hepatica, DMI in this study was not affected by fascioliasis. |

| | The triad of painful, tender hepatomegaly, fever and marked eosinophilia is highly suggestive of fascioliasis in an endemic area. | | | Unlike clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis, there is as yet no proven relationship between fascioliasis and cholangiocellular carcinoma. | | | The chronic or latent phase of fascioliasis may last for months or even years, and develops after the larvae have reached the bile ducts and after the parenchymal destruction seen in the acute invasive phase subsides, with healing and regeneration. |

| | Imaging techniques proved to be the most useful method for confirming the diagnosis and also the follow-up of fascioliasis [6,8,10]. | | | Interestingly, the larvae is able to migrate to a number of ectopic locations such as subcutaneous areas, intestines, pleura, lungs, abdominal wall, brain, cecum, epididymis, stomach, pericardial, or cerebral sites, producing very unique clinical manifestations [8,9]. | | | While fascioliasis is a well-known human parasite, it sometimes produces unusual characteristics that may influence a clinician to misdiagnose the condition. |

Bulletin of the World Health Organization. | | | Despite the prevalence of fascioliasis in many regions, physicians and health workers often do not consider the possibility of Fasciola hepatica infection when treating patients and thus, would benefit from awareness training. | | | Until recently, however, bithionol was the only treatment available for fascioliasis and its cost, high doses, and the extended length of treatment effectively prohibited its use for large-scale campaigns. |
