Knowledge of the population dynamics of parasites and their hosts is essential to build veterinary and health programs. The example chosen is that of Fasciola hepatica, a food-borne trematode responsible for severe human and animal infections on the five continents. In this paper, we review the relationships between the liver fluke and its intermediate (mollusc) and definitive (vertebrate) hosts.
了解寄生虫及其宿主的种群动态对于制定兽医和健康计划至关重要。所选的例子是肝片吸虫，这是一种食源性吸虫，在五大洲导致严重的人类和动物感染。在本文中，我们综述了肝吸虫与其中间宿主（软体动物）和终末宿主（脊椎动物）之间的关系。
