Abstract
Fascioliasis, caused by F. gigantica, is a significant parasitic disease affecting livestock and humans. The study investigates the presence of Radix acuminata in local water bodies and its potential to harbor F. gigantica cercariae larvae. The study aims to elucidate the role of Radix acuminata in the transmission cycle of Fasciola gigantica. The taxonomic complexity of Lymnaeids poses challenges, prompting molecular and morphological analysis for accurate species identification. The findings shed light on the transmission dynamics of fascioliasis in this region and emphasize the importance of understanding intermediate hosts for effective control measures. This research contributes to the broader field of parasitology and informs strategies for mitigating the impact of fascioliasis in Meghalaya, Northeast India.
期刊介绍：
The Annals of Parasitology (formerly Wiadomości Parazytologiczne) is an official, peer reviewed quarterly of the Polish Parasitological Society. The Annals of Parasitology publishes original papers, review articles, short notes and case reports in the fields of parasitology, mycology, and related disciplines. It also accepts interdisciplinary articles, scientific conference proceedings, book reviews. An important mission of our journal is to inform our Readers about the activities of the Polish Parasitological Society and advancement of parasitology both in Poland and elsewhere.
