	The Liver Fluke Fasciola hepatica
		hepatica is the causative agent of Fascioliasis, or 'liver rot' in ruminants, where it may be an important pathogen.
		hepatica is a typical example of a Digenean lifecycle, with miracidial, and cercarial stages.
		In addition, as described above, as Fasciola does not appear to be fully adapted to using man as a definitive host, the flukes may often give rise to ectopic infections, particularly in the lungs and subcutaneous tissues, where they may be found encysted.

		Fascioliasis is an infection by the sheep liver fluke Fasciola hepatica (Figs.
		hepatica was initially described by Jean DeBrie in 1379 and was later identified in the livers of sheep and goats in 1547 and in humans in 1600.
		Fasciola hepatica is found worldwide with a high infection rate among herbivorous animals.

	Fasciola hepatica - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		Eggs of F hepatica cannot be demonstrated in feces during acute fasciolosis.
		Control measures for F hepatica ideally should involve removal of flukes in affected animals, reduction of the intermediate host snail population, and prevention of livestock access to snail-infested pasture.
		In areas where heavy infections are expected, sheep may require treatment in September or October, January or February, and again in April or May to reduce both the chances of acute or chronic infections and the output of fluke eggs for development of future disease.

	KIDNEY PATHOLOGY IN CATTLE NATURALLY INFECTED BY FASCIOLA HEPATICA
		The immunohistochemical analysis revealed a positive reaction for the antigen (the presence of diffuse brown antigens) of Fasciola hepatica in the glomerulus and vascular pole.
		In addition, the immunohistochemical detection of Fasciola hepatica antigen in glomeruli, and the presence of IgG are suggestive of disease mediated by immune complexes.
		The positive results obtained through the immunofluorescent analysis of the renal tissue of cattle with Fasciola hepatica is clear evidence of antigen-antibody complexes with a granular and pseudolinear pattern in the mesangial and subendothelial regions.

		Fascioliasis is regarded to be one of the most important parasitic diseases in domestic ruminants of economical importance and its aethiological agent, Fasciola hepatica (Linnaeus, 1758), is a cosmopolitan trematode in areas of bovine, caprine, ovine, and buffaloes breading (Lessa et al.
		hepatica is routinely performed either by exposing the snails to light in order to observe cercariae or by dissecting them to visualize cercariae, sporocysts, and redia, mainly when located into the digestive gland.

		Fasciola hepatica eggshells are composed of at least three novel proteins which undergo the unusual post- translational modification of tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine; this modification allows the proteins to undergo oxidation and crosslinking to form a hard, porous, quinone- tanned eggshell.
		The long term goals of the project include a study of i) the concerted expression of these proteins in development, ii) the biochemistry of shell formation including crosslink structure and enzymology of shell formation (tyrosine hydroxylase, catechol oxidase), and iii) the application of recombinant eggshell proteins and worm processes to synthetic microencapsulation.

		Background: Fascioliasis is an infection caused by flukes of the class Trematoda, most often characterized by fever, eosinophilia, and abdominal pain, although as many as half of these patients may be asymptomatic.
		Humans are incidental hosts for Fasciola hepatica (Fh), commonly known as the sheep liver fluke, and Fasciola gigantica (Fg); these flukes cause similar illnesses in those who become infected by ingesting contaminated watercress or water.

		A longstanding collaboration involving our group and the School of Biotechnology, DCU, has resulted in significant progress being made towards the development of vaccines to protect cattle and sheep against fascioliasis.
		More recently, this work has been complemented by studies on the immunomodulating properties of Fasciola hepatica, how the parasite forces the immune system into mounting non-protective responses, and the implications this may have on the course of bacterial and viral infections in animals with fascioliasis.
		We have also been funded to develop diagnostic assays for measurement of Fasciola-specific antibodies in humans.
