The cross-reaction elucidated in the present study between the F. gigantica ES and egg antigens was mainly at the low serum dilutions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Pain
Here, we report the case of Fasciola gigantica presenting with biliary obstruction and abdominal pain that was diagnosed and treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The mass was painful and itchy, and the patient sometimes felt something moving in the mass. [doi.org]

- Inflammation
Inflammation of the pancreas may also occur. [cdc.gov]
Along the back of the fluke is a spine that can cause inflammation in the host. Liver flukes are simultaneous hermaphrodites, i.e. they have both male and female reproductive organs. Quick history: Fasciola gigantica isn't a new mutated fluke. [fasciolagigantica.weebly.com]
[…] electrolytes (calcium, chloride, phosphore), protein metabolism (creatinine, blood urea nitrogen), plasma proteins (albumin, total proteins), carbohydrate metabolism (glucose, amylase), hepatic lipid metabolism (total cholesterol, triglycerides) and inflammation [dialnet.unirioja.es]
The infection is most often characterized by fever, pain, eosinophilia, and abdominal inflammation [4]. The intermediate host of liver fluke F. gigantica is a hermaphroditic mollusk Lymnaea acuminata, inhabiting freshwater ponds and ditches. [hindawi.com]
- Fever
With no fever and showing good recovery, the patient was discharged at the end of July 2002. In August 2002, she felt pain on her knee associated with a reddish, itchy, and inflamed swelling. [doi.org]
Nonspecific symptoms/signs (e.g., abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, hepatomegaly, malaise, fever, cough) and laboratory abnormalities (e.g., peripheral eosinophilia, elevated transaminase levels) may develop. [cdc.gov]

- Swelling
However, there were limited movements and some blebbing, swelling, deposition of tegumental secretions and some flattening displayed by the flukes of 48h post-treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Scanning electron microscopy examination of these flukes revealed evidence of swelling of the tegument that showed regional variation in its severity. Loss of spines was also observed. [new.puj.eg.net]

- Agitation
Using agitation, the chlorophyll has contacted the methanolic KOH and has been transformed into water soluble chlorophyllin by saponification and the consequent cleavage of the ester bond located between the chlorophyllin and the phytol tail. [scielo.br]
On agitation the chlorophyll came into contact with the hydrochloric acid and transformed into water-soluble olive yellow coloured pheophorbide (Figure 1). 2.3. [hindawi.com]

The prepatent period had a longer duration in the Fasciola gigantica-infected groups. The percentages of floating cysts were greater in the Fasciola gigantica groups than in the Fasciola hepatica groups. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This disease is produced by infection with Fasciola hepatica or Fasciola gigantica through the consumption of vegetables or water contaminated with the parasite’s metacercarial cysts. [ri.conicet.gov.ar]
The pathology of infection, diagnostic procedures, and control measures are similar to those for F hepatica ( see Fasciola hepatica in Ruminants Fasciola hepatica in Ruminants Fasciola hepatica is one of the most important flukes of domestic ruminants [msdvetmanual.com]

Treatment
Flukes obtained from 24h post-treatment did not show any apparent change and were still very active. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment with nitroxynil may be an effective replacement for therapy with TCBZ in cases of resistance. [new.puj.eg.net]
To control acute fasciolosis due to the immature liver flukes a third treatment should be given in August. [ojvr.org]
No mortality of redia and cercaria larvae was observed in control group I (no chlorophyllin treatment and samples kept in sunlight), II (chlorophyllin treatment was given and samples were kept in the dark) and III (no chlorophyllin treatment and samples [scielo.br]

Doubtless, understanding the epidemiology of the parasitic diseases and factors affecting their incidence provides the foundation upon which effective prevention and control programs should be established. [doi.org]
