This monograph presents complex data on Fascioloides magna from all
aspects of its research (general information, distribution,
spectrum of hosts) and summarizes the latest information on
molecular structure of informative genes which were recently
applied in resolving taxonomy and biogeography of this veterinary
important parasite. The giant liver fluke, Fascioloides magna, is
important liver parasite of free-living and domestic ruminants. Due
to its biology, distribution, medical impact, and invasive
character, this liver fluke attracts attention of wide spectrum of
specialists - veterinary doctors, hunters and farmers, as well as
scientists. The parasite utilizes wide range of free living and
domestic ruminants as definitive hosts, with various pathological
impacts ranging from moderate infections towards lethal effects.
Fascioloides magna is of North American origin where it occurs in
five enzootic regions. It was introduced to Europe along with its
deer hosts in 19th century and it has established three permanent
natural foci. The giant liver fluke represents an outstanding model
for studying the origin, spatial distribution, migratory routs, and
invasion processes of introduced species.
