Abstract:
As a global zoonotic disease, fascioliasis is a serious threat to human and animal health and animal husbandry development. The complexity of the classification and identification of Lymnaeidae, the intermediate host of , notably the emergence of its sibling species, leads to misunderstanding of geographical distribution and transmission potential of . This review introduces the classification of flukes of the family Fasciolidae, describes the geographical distribution of and and discusses the co-evolution of and Lymnaeidae host snails, and the effects of human activities and ruminant migration on global spread and transmission of . In addition, we revisit the intermediate host snails of in Africa based on the latest molecular biological evidence.
