Abstract：
:Fasciolosis in ruminants is a relentless constraint in the livestock industry across the world. Immuno-prophylactic vaccines against fasciolosis may not come up in near future, rendering the control of this scourge with chemotherapy and snail population control. With the alarming threats of anti-fasciolid drug resistance reported from certain parts of the world; the control of fasciolosis should be directed towards the development of rapid and reliable diagnostic tools to execute the specific and discrete treatment. Understanding the epidemiology of Fasciola, its genomics and proteomics, host-parasite interplay, and advances in drug design research is vital for improving animal health that would ultimately succour to meet the ever-increasing demand for food. Due to possible differences in immune response depending on the species of the host and parasite, immuno-prophylactic studies in India should aim at achieving protective efficacy in buffalo against F. gigantica as workers from other countries concentrate primarily on vaccination of cattle and sheep against F. hepatica. This manuscript focused on the research that has been carried out in India for understanding the epidemiology, genetic diversity, immuno-diagnosis, and possible control measure in terms of immuno-prophylaxis and drug designing against tropical fasciolosis caused by Fasciola gigantica.
