Abstract
Liver fluke disease, or fasciolosis, is a global problem of livestock and causes losses of US$3 billion annually [1]. Recently, it has emerged as a major health problem in many countries, including Iran, Peru, Cuba, Bolivia and Egypt. Every year an estimated 2.4 million people are infected worldwide and a further 180 million people are at risk of infection [1]. The highest prevalence of fasciolosis in humans is found in the Altiplano region of northern Bolivia [2,3]; this article highlights the need for a control strategy in this region.
