Fasciola hepatica is refractory to complement killing by preventing attachment of mannose binding lectin (MBL) and inhibiting MBL-associated serine proteases (MASPs) with serpins

Carolina De Marco Verissimo et al.

Summary: This study discovered the mechanism by which helminth parasite Fasciola hepatica resists complement attack, including preventing lectin binding and secretion of protease inhibitors, revealing new interventions against parasitic infections.

Targeting Secreted Protease/Anti-Protease Balance as a Vaccine Strategy against the Helminth Fasciola hepatica

Krystyna Cwiklinski et al.

Summary: This study reports a vaccine strategy targeting the parasite's protease/anti-protease balance. A vaccine cocktail containing three recombinant stefins and a Kunitz-type inhibitor was evaluated in two sheep trials. Although fluke burden was not reduced, the vaccinated animals showed significantly greater weight gain and a significant reduction in egg viability. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that vaccination and increased levels of antibodies specific for the parasite's peptidase inhibitors were positive indicators for increased weight gain and normal levels of hemoglobin.

Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of peptidase expression in Fasciola hepatica eggs developing at host's body temperature

Jana Ilgova et al.

Summary: Fasciola hepatica is a global parasite of livestock that also causes a neglected zoonosis in humans. This study demonstrates significant molecular changes in F. hepatica eggs when cultured at the physiological temperature of the definitive host. The transcriptome and proteome of the eggs underwent noticeable changes, and the peptidase profile was considerably modified on both levels.

Fasciola Species Introgression: Just a Fluke or Something More?

Nichola Eliza Davies Calvani et al.

Summary: Global pandemic events have brought renewed attention to viral and bacterial zoonotic diseases, but parasitic zoonoses are often overlooked. In the case of fasciolosis, a lack of appropriate detection tools has led to the expansion of parasite sympatry and increased hybridization between species. The increased demand for animal-derived protein is changing the dynamics of these zoonotic parasites.

Complementary transcriptomic and proteomic analyses reveal the cellular and molecular processes that drive growth and development of Fasciola hepatica in the host liver

Krystyna Cwiklinski et al.

Summary: The migration of immature Fasciola hepatica parasites within the liver is associated with an increase in protein production, expression of signalling pathways, and neoblast proliferation that drive their rapid growth and development. The secretion of a defined set of molecules, particularly cathepsin L peptidases, peptidase inhibitors, saponins, immune regulators, and antioxidants, allow the parasite to negotiate the liver micro-environment, immune attack, and increasing levels of oxidative stress.

Pathogenicity and virulence of the liver flukes Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola Gigantica that cause the zoonosis Fasciolosis

Richard Lalor et al.

Summary: Fasciolosis caused by liver flukes is an important neglected parasitic disease with high transmissibility and adaptability. The parasite's ability to survive and reproduce within their mammalian host is mainly influenced by their high frequency of non-synonymous polymorphisms in genes and excretory-secretory molecules. Through various mechanisms, liver flukes can persist for years within their host and spread rapidly.

Summary: Fascioliasis is a neglected zoonotic tropical disease that imposes a significant economic burden. The Pacbio assembly of the reference genome for F. gigantica reported in the study significantly improved assembly and gene annotation quality, and revealed evidence of transposon-mediated evolution.

Summary: Research has shown that the Prx1 and Trx1 of Fasciola hepatica play important roles in stress responses, not only acting as antioxidants, but also modulating host immune responses and inflammation.

Morphological and molecular characterization of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica phenotypes from co-endemic localities inMpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa

Sayurika Haridwal et al.

Summary: This study conducted morphological and molecular characterization of Fasciola spp. collected from cattle slaughtered in two provinces of South Africa. The results showed limitations of using morphological characters alone to identify Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica, recommending the use of both morphological and molecular techniques, especially in areas where the two species are co-endemic.
