Infection with a liver fluke of the genus Fasciola.

fascioliasis

[fas′ē·ōlī′əsis]

Etymology: L, fasciola, little band; Gk, osis, condition

infection by a liver fluke of the species Fasciola hepatica or F. gigantica. It is characterized by epigastric pain, fever, hepatomegaly, jaundice, eosinophilia, urticaria, and diarrhea. Fibrosis of the liver is a consequence of prolonged infection. It is acquired by ingestion of encysted forms of the fluke found on aquatic plants, such as raw watercress grown in water contaminated by sheep or cattle dung. The disease is prevalent in many parts of the world, including the southern and western United States. Incidence of infection has increased over the last 20 years. Bithionol or triclabendazole, given orally, is the usual treatment.

fascioliasis [fas″e-o-li´ah-sis]

infection with Fasciola.

fascioliasis

the disease caused by infestation with fasciola. Called also distomatosis, distomiasis.

hepatic fascioliasis

acute or chronic hepatic insufficiency results. Acute fascioliasis in sheep is characterized by sudden death due to blood loss from the liver. Chronic fascioliasis in sheep and cattle causes anemia, weight loss, submandibular edema and mucosal pallor. The livers are badly damaged due to fibrosis and cholangitis and are a cause of loss at abattoirs. See also infectious necrotic hepatitis, bacillary hemoglobinuria.

fascioliasis-ostertagiasis complex

a disease of cattle in which the diarrhea of ostertagiasis is accompanied by the anemia of fascioliasis.
