The major pathogenesis associated with Fasciola hepatica infection results from the extensive tissue damage caused by the tunnelling and feeding activity of immature flukes during their migration, growth and development in the liver. This is compounded by the pathology caused by host innate and adap...

Parasite-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are now at the forefront of helminth research, with evidence indicating that they exhibit immune modulatory activity, presenting a strong case to look at their potential as vaccine candidates. In the present study, Fasciola hepatica derived EVs (FhEVs) w...

Fasciola hepatica, commonly known as liver fluke, is a trematode which causes Fasciolosis in ruminants and humans. The outer tegumental coat of F. hepatica is a complex metabolically active biological matrix that is continually exposed to the host immune system. It is highly glycosylated and parasi...

The liver fluke Fasciola hepatica is an economically important pathogen of livestock. Fasciolosis in humans is an important re-emerging zoonosis, with 180 million people at risk. Development of novel control strategies requires an understanding of parasite virulence and tissue invasion, and of how...

Background The parasite Fasciola hepatica infects a broad range of mammals with impunity. Following ingestion of parasites (metacercariae) by the host, newly excysted juveniles (NEJ) emerge from their cysts, rapidly penetrate the duodenal wall and migrate to the liver. Successful infection takes j...
