Immune signatures of pathogenesis in the peritoneal compartment during early infection of sheep with Fasciola hepatica

Abstract Immune signatures of sheep acutely-infected with Fasciola hepatica, an important pathogen of livestock and humans were analysed within the peritoneal compartment to investigate early infection. Within the peritoneum, F. hepatica antibodies coincided with an intense innate and adaptive cellu...
