Human infections have been reported from more than 75 countries around the world. In Asia and Africa, people are infected both by F. hepatica and F. gigantica whereas human fasciolosis is caused only by F. hepatica in South and Central America and Europe. [40] The presence of F. hepatica can interfere with the detection of bovine tuberculosis in
Bird flu is a scary illness with a high mortality rate. But so far, infections in the U.S. have been relatively mild—until now. A patient in Louisiana has been hospitalized with a severe case of ...
Streptococcus bovis is a group of strains of Gram-positive bacteria, originally described as a species, [5] [6] that in humans is associated with urinary tract infections, endocarditis, sepsis, [7] and colorectal cancer. [8] S. bovis is commonly found in the alimentary tract of cattle, sheep, and other ruminants, [9] and may cause ruminal acidosis.
