Abstract
Fasciola jacksoni recovered from infected liver and lungs were almost round, pear-shaped measuring 10-16 mm in length and 8.5-14 mm in width with ill-defind cephalic end between indistinct shoulders. Infected l iver showed haemorrhagic tracts, thickening of bile ductules, cirrhoti c changes and pseudolobulations. In lungs, bronchial lumen contained d esquamated epithelial cells admired with fibrinohaemorrhagic exudate.
