| | BEEF: One Bad Fluke |
| | Knowing flukes are a potential problem for many ranchers, Zimmerman is concerned ranchers like Sitz are treating for liver flukes at the right time with the right product. | | | Research literature indicates clorsulon is very effective against adult flukes and somewhat effective against later stages of immature migrating flukes. | | | There are few other areas of animal health where ranchers can gain the kind of increased overall productivity that result in such improvements in profit. |

| | This migration can affect the liver in a variety of ways depending on the number of flukes, the condition of the moose, and the amount of time the flukes have parasitized the host. | | | Environmental Factors: The relationships of temperature and rainfall to fluke development are primary factors that regulate the speed of fluke development within the snail and rate of snail reproduction. | | | Moisture is essential for all stages of development of the liver fluke outside the mammal host. |

| | The parasites burrow into the skin, and then are carried into the bloodstream to be taken to the liver, intestines, or bladder. | | | Important ones affecting man belong to the genera Schistosoma (blood fluke), Echinostoma (intestinal fluke), Fasciolopsis (liver fluke), Gastrodiscoides (intestinal fluke), Heterophyes (intestinal fluke), Metagonimus (intestinal fluke), Clonorchis (Asiatic liver fluke), Fasciola (liver fluke), Dicrocoelium (liver fluke), Opisthorchis (liver fluke), and Paragonimus (lung fluke). | | | Adult flukes live in the duodenum (the shortest and widest part of the small intestine) and jejunum (connects the duodenum and the ileum, which opens into the large intestine), where they cause ulceration. |

| | The human liver fluke is said to affect millions of people in southeastern Asia (30 million by one estimate), causing many deaths and adverse health conditions. | | | Ironically, the human liver fluke does not reside in or upon its host's liver; rather, the parasite lives in the biliary (bile) ducts. | | | Though some medical treatments are available, the host may suffer permanent damage or death depending on the degree of infestation and length of time carrying the parasites. |

| | However in some of these hosts, such as man or the horse the parasite is much less well adapted, and ectopic infections may occur, with adult flukes being found in unusual locations such as the lungs or under the skin. | | | This parasite is a typical fluke, and is very similar to the related species F. | | | The young fluke then penetrates the liver tissues, through which it migrates, feeding on mainly on blood, for about six weeks. |

| | Fasciola hepatica (sheel liver fluke) |
| | The common name of this parasite, the "sheep liver fluke," is somewhat misleading since this parasite is found in animals other than sheep (including cattle and humans), and the parasite resides in the bile ducts inside the liver rather than the liver itself. | | | The migration of the worms through the host's liver, and the presence of the worms in the bile ducts, are responsible for the pathology associated with fascioliasis. | | | The metacercaria excysts in the definitive host's small intestine, and the immature worm penetrates the small intestine and migrates through the abdominal cavity to the host's liver. |

| | In addition to producing inflammation, these parasites may release a substance that stimulates collagen production causing fibrosis in the host's tissue; such a condition may proceed to atrophy the liver and lead eventually to cirrhosis. | | | During its life cycle, the liver fluke travels through many environments including an intermediate host before arriving at its final destination, the bile ducts of a definitive host. | | | Once inside the snail, through a series of steps, the parasite advances to the larval stage of cercaria, thereupon leaving the snail to attach to vegetation and encapsulate itself in a cyst transforming into a metacercaria. |
