This book provides an up-to-date review of fasciolosis, a disease
caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica, including its
biology, transmission, epidemiology, host distribution, economic
impact, and novel approaches for its diagnosis, treatment and
prevention. It first offers a brief overview of the history of the
disease, the genetic diversity of the parasite and its
distribution, and the ecology of the vector snail, which belongs to
the Lymnaeidae/Planorbidae family. It also examines the current
strategies and novel approaches for controlling the parasite,
diagnosing infections and vaccine development. Importantly, it
highlights issues relating to the control of fasciolosis, including
drug resistance, lack of effective diagnostics, and the parasite's
long-term survival strategies based on regulation and modulation of
the host immune system. Lastly, it discusses the novel control
snail vectors using bait formulations, and synergetic and
phototherapy treatment with chlorophyllin, which does not kill the
vector.
