Fasciolosis, 2nd Edition
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.

Release Date: 1999
Fasciolosis, caused by the liver flukes Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica, is one of the most economically important helminth parasite diseases of livestock. In addition, it is recognized as an emerging disease of humans by the World Health Organization; recent reports estimate that 2.4 million people are presently infected. This book is the first to be published for over 30 years which gives comprehensive coverage of these parasites and their control. It is a rich source of reference for students and researchers.

The world of parasites is as fascinating as it is intricate, revealing a hidden realm where survival depends on extraordinary adaptations and complex interactions. Parasites, organisms that live on or within a host organism to obtain nutrients, have existed for millions of years, shaping ecosystems and influencing the evolution of their hosts. While often associated with disease, parasites also play vital roles in ecosystems. They help regulate populations of other organisms, contributing to biodiversity. For instance, parasitic infections can prevent dominant species from overwhelming others, thus maintaining balance within communities. However, their impact on human and animal health is significant, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where parasitic diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The study of parasites, parasitology, has advanced significantly over the years, providing insights into their biology, host interactions, and control methods.
