Answers
Liver flukes are parasitic worms that live in the bile ducts and the liver of infected animals. These parasites cause a disease called fascioliasis in people, cattle, and sheep.
Although liver flukes can infect people in all parts of the world, they are most prevalent in developing countries.
There have only been a few cases of liver flukes reported in the United States. People can only become infected by drinking water or eating fish from places where liver flukes live.
It is not possible to spread liver flukes from person to person, and some infected people may not even realize they have them. Once contracted, liver flukes may live in a person's body for 20 to 30 years if left untreated.
