Fascioliasis
Fascioliasis is caused by the trematodes Fasciola hepatica (the sheep liver fluke) and Fasciola gigantica, parasites of herbivores that can infect humans accidentally. In agriculture, Fasciola infections cause losses totalling billions of dollars due to poor meat quality and loss of milk production and condemnation of livers.
