Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola hybrid form co-existence in yak from Tibet of China: application of rDNA internal transcribed spacer.

Fasciolosis is a parasitic disease affecting humans and livestock, caused by digenean trematodes of the genus Fasciola, primarily F. hepatica and F. gigantica.

Optimization of CRISPR/Cas12a detection assay and its application in the detection of Echinococcus granulosus.

Cystic echinococcosis, resulting from infection with Echinococcus granulosus, poses a significant challenge as a neglected tropical disease owing to the lack of any known effective treatment. Primarily affecting under-resourced, remote, and conflict-ridden regions, the disease is compounded by the limitations of current detection techniques, such as microscopy, physical imaging, ELISA, and qPCR, which are unsuitable for application in these areas. The emergence of CRISPR/Cas12a as a promising tool for nucleic acid detection, characterized by its unparalleled specificity, heightened sensitivity, and rapid detection time, offers a potential solution.

Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome and Phylogenetic Analyses of (Trematoda: Dicrocoeliidae).

, a pancreatic fluke, is recognized as a causative agent of substantial economic losses in ruminants. This infection, commonly referred to as eurytrematosis, is a significant concern due to its detrimental impact on livestock production. However, there is a paucity of knowledge regarding the mitochondrial genome of .
