| molecular characterization of fasciola gigantica in delhi, india and its phylogenetic relation to the species from south asian countries. | the aim of this study was to phylogenetically analyze fasciola gigantica (f. gigantica) from mainland india and to reveal the expansion history of f. gigantica in the indian subcontinent. we analyzed 40 fasciola flukes that were collected from delhi, in the indian mainland, and identified them as f. gigantica by using nucleotide analyses of the nuclear phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (pepck) and dna polymerase delta (pold) genes. based on the nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial nadh dehydroge ... | 2016 | 27301703 |
| control of fasciolosis in stall-fed buffaloes by managing the feeding of rice straw. | fasciolosis, caused by fasciola gigantica, presents major disease and production problems, particularly in the rice producing areas of south and south-east asia. in nepal, buffaloes are commonly stall-fed and the most usual fodder is rice straw, which is produced in large quantities in the area. here we describe a relatively simple way of controlling fasciolosis in these animals. we demonstrate that infectious metacercariae of f. gigantica are concentrated in the bottom part of the rice straw an ... | 2005 | 15934636 |
