phylogenetic data suggest the reclassification of fasciola jacksoni (digenea: fasciolidae) as fascioloides jacksoni comb. nov.	fasciola jacksoni (cobbold, 1869) is a highly prevalent (18-62%) species colonizing the liver (less frequently the lungs, kidneys, pericardia, and intestines) of elephas maximus indicus and elephas maximus maximus in the indomalayan region, causing cirrhosis, hemorrhages, and connective tissue proliferation. the phylogenetic relationships of fasciola jacksoni in relation to representative species of the superfamily echinostomatoidea was assessed using four independent dna regions. the analysis i ...	2013	23411741
some clinico-pathologic findings in elephants (elephas maximus) infected with fasciola jacksoni.	severe submandibular and ventral abdominal oedema was observed in an asian elephant (elephas maximus) in which liver flukes (fasciola jacksoni) were recovered from the bile ducts at post-mortem examination. clinico-pathologic examination of blood samples and serum from this elephant and another 8 elephants showed that most had anemia and hypoproteinemia. fecal samples from 6 of the elephants contained from 6 to 83 eggs per gram. treatment of elephants with nitroxynil (10 mg/kg) by subcutaneous i ...	1978	633508
