The Clinical Picture Caused by <i>Fasciola gigantica</i>: Analysis of 3250 Patients Along the 1995–2019 Countrywide Spread in Vietnam
This is the first sufficiently wide study of the clinical picture caused by <i>F gigantica</i>. The assessment has been made in a population without previous contact with fascioliasis and shows that <i>F gigantica</i> (and <i>F gigantica</i>-like hybrids) do not cause clinical pictures different from those caused by <i>Fasciola hepatica.</i> This clinical picture will be useful for physicians and health officers in endemic areas of Asia and Africa.
