Fasciolosis, caused by F. gigantica, is a significant parasitic disease affecting livestock and humans. The study investigates the presence of Radixacuminata in local water bodies and its potential to harbor F. giganticacercariae larvae. The study aims to elucidate the role of Radixacuminata in the transmission cycle of Fasciola gigantica. The taxonomic complexity of lymnaeids poses challenges, prompting molecular and morphological analysis for accurate species identification. The findings shed light on the transmission dynamics of fasciolosis in this region and emphasize the importance of understanding intermediate hosts for effective control measures. This research contributes to the broader field of parasitology and informs strategies for mitigating the impact of fasciolosis in Meghalaya, Northeast India.
