Fasciola hepatica (Linnaeus, 1758) (Trematoda, Digenea) in the hare Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778 (Lagomorpha, Leporidae) from the Andean Patagonian region, Chubut Province, Argentina

The European hare Lepus europaeus was found naturally infected with Fasciola hepatica, but in Argentina no studies have ever been performed on this issue. In this work we evaluated the occurrence of infection in hares from the Andean Patagonian Region of Chubut Province. During 1999, 162328 hares fr...

In this work we evaluated the occurrence of infection in hares from the Andean Patagonian Region of Chubut Province. During 1999, 162328 hares from the northwest of the province were examined for F. hepatica juveniles and adults.
