Comprehensive mitochondrial genomics of Fasciola gigantica from Sudan: insights into genetic diversity, evolutionary dynamics, and host adaptation
These findings highlight significant genetic variation and evolutionary divergence among <i>F. gigantica</i> isolates in Sudan. The observed diversity, particularly within non-coding and variable coding regions, underscores the influence of regional evolutionary pressures and host-associated adaptations. This work enhances understanding of <i>F. gigantica</i>'s genetic landscape and supports the development of more targeted molecular surveillance and control strategies for fascioliasis in endemic regions.
