DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2020.105471
Abstract: In the definitive host, a trematode parasite can survive and evade the damage by reactive oxygen species that are generated from its metabolism and the host immune cells. Several anti-oxidant proteins are found in Fasciola… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.molbiopara.2018.06.004
Abstract: Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica are ruminant liver flukes that are found worldwide. They can occur sympatrically and hybridize, consequently producing an intermediate form (Fasciola sp.), especially in Africa and Asia. The bridge intron (TkBridgeInt)… read more here.
