What is Zoonotic Fascioliasis in Peru: Genome Insights about?

This study investigates the mitochondrial genomes of triclabendazole-resistant Fasciola hepatica from human infections in Peru, revealing a link between human and livestock infections. The analysis indicates that TCBZ-resistant infections in humans likely originate from resistant parasites in local cattle, supporting the hypothesis of zoonotic transmission. The findings highlight the challenges of managing fascioliasis and the implications of drug resistance for public health and livestock industries.
