Fasciolosis is a major global infection of livestock causing both
huge losses to the agricultural community and affecting human
health as a food-borne disease. Fully updated throughout, this new
edition continues to cover the life cycle, biology, and development
of the parasite; clinical pathology, immunology, diagnosis and
vaccine development; and emergence, cause and mechanisms of drug
resistance. It reviews the temperate liver fluke Fasciola hepatica,
together with molecular, biochemical, control, and epidemiologial
aspects of the tropical liver fluke F. gigantica. Many fundamental
advances have taken place in the last two decades, but of
particular importance has been the mapping of the draft genome of
Fasciola. In addition, comprehensive advances in transcriptomics,
proteomics and glycomics have been made, and the book therefore
pays particular attention to these developments with the addition
of brand-new chapters. Also covering the impact these parasites
have had on the global human population, their distribution and
their ecology, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible
resource for scientists, researchers and students of medical and
veterinary parasitology.
