is a zoonotic tapeworm of the genus that is distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Wild and domestic carnivores are final hosts, while rodents and rabbits are primarily intermediate hosts, although many other mammals may harbour the larval stage, . This case report aims to describe infection in a lemur and molecularly characterise the isolated parasite.

- Liver fluke infections are significant global health issues for both animals and humans, with concerns about the introduction of the giant liver fluke in Europe threatening local wildlife like red deer.
- The study aimed to compare liver protein profiles between red deer infected with the liver fluke and healthy controls using advanced proteomics techniques, resulting in the identification of 234 proteins that differed in abundance.
- The research found that liver fluke infection in red deer affects various biological processes, including protein and fat metabolism, oxidative stress response, fibrosis, and cell signaling, which helps deepen our understanding of how parasites interact with their hosts.
