Understanding genetic structure and status of genetic variation of the Fasciola gigantica
and F. hepatica isolates from different hosts, has important implications for epidemiology and effective control of
fasciolosis. The aim of the present work was to study the molecular characterization of Fasciola gigantica and F.
hepatica isolates collected from cows and sheep, using the random amplified polymorphic DNA fragmentspolymerase
chain reaction (RAPDs-PCR) technique.
