can modulate host immune mechanisms through excretory-secretory products (ESP). As one of the components of ESP, it is unknown whether Abelson tyrosine protein kinase (Abl) is involved in parasite-host immune interaction. To investigate the immunoregulatory function of Abl in , we cloned and expressed the gigantica Abl protein and assessed its effect on specific immune functions of buffalo peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Fascioliosis is a food-borne zoonotic helminth infection caused by flatworms belonging to the family Fasciolidae, primarily affecting ruminants. The chronic form of fascioliosis is the most prevalent and is characterized by anemia, weight loss, cirrhosis, and liver dysfunction, along with atrophy, jaundice, and bottle jaw. In humans, infection results in fever, nausea, skin rashes, and severe abdominal pain.

Fasciolosis is a neglected tropical disease caused by helminth parasites of the genus spp., including () and (), being a major zoonotic problem of human and animal health. Its control with antihelminthics is becoming ineffective due to the increase in parasite resistance.

Fasciolosis, caused by the liver flukes and , is a zoonotic parasitic disease associated with substantial economic losses in livestock. The transforming growth factor-beta signalling pathway is implicated in developmental processes and biological functions throughout the animal kingdom, including the spp. It may also mediate host-helminth interactions during infection.

Background: Cathepsin-L (FhCL) is a group of enzymes that most flukes express and secreted significantly in parasite-host interactions. Researches are focusing on antigens released by as one of the keys to understanding immunologic pathways in parasite infection and targets for anthelmintics. Efforts to suppress FhCL function through vaccination or therapy using anthelmintic drugs are key factors in controlling field-level trematode infections.
