Pronunciation: [lˈɪvə flˈuːk] (IPA) 
Liver fluke is a parasitic worm that infects the liver and causes various diseases in animals, including humans. Some common synonyms for liver fluke include Fasciola hepatica, sheep liver fluke, cattle liver fluke, and hepatic trematode. Liver flukes belong to the family Fasciolidae and are commonly found in wet and marshy areas. They can cause severe liver damage if left untreated and can spread rapidly among livestock populations, causing significant economic losses for farmers.

Early detection and treatment of liver flukes in humans is also crucial for preventing long-term health complications.
