Identification of Adult <i>Fasciola</i> spp. Using Matrix-Assisted Laser/Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) Mass Spectrometry

Identification of Adult <i>Fasciola</i> spp. Using Matrix-Assisted Laser/Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) Mass Spectrometry

Fascioliasis is a neglected trematode infection caused by <i>Fasciola gigantica</i> and <i>Fasciola hepatica</i>. Routine diagnosis of fascioliasis relies on macroscopic identification of adult worms in liver tissue of slaughtered animals, and microscopic detection of eggs in...
