Dynamics of host-parasite interactions: the example of population biology of the liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica)

S Hurtrez-Boussès et al. Microbes Infect. 2001 Aug.

Abstract

Knowledge of the population dynamics of parasites and their hosts is essential to build veterinary and health programs. The example chosen is that of Fasciola hepatica, a food-borne trematode responsible for severe human and animal infections on the five continents. In this paper, we review the relationships between the liver fluke and its intermediate (mollusc) and definitive (vertebrate) hosts.
