İn some parts they called F. gigantica «snake fluke» fluke» or «leaf fluke». and F. hepatica «leech F. gigantica has been reported from many areas in Turkey, often from the v/estern and Southern parts of the country and less freguently from the Anatolian Plateau. Since it is guite similar to F. hepatica in appearance it is guite possible that each has been mistaken for the other.
