Presence of Pseudosuccinea columella naturally infested by Fasciola hepatica in Santo Tomé (Corrientes, Argentina)
Fasciolosis is a parasitic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica, that originates great economic losses in livestock production and is also considered a zoonosis. In Corrientes, northeastern Argentine, the snail Pseudosuccinea columella is involved in the transmission of the disease. The objective of...
