The trematodes that attack the liver are one of the more serious groups of parasites of domesticated ruminants. At least one species occurs in nearly every important meat producing area in the world. Turkey is unfortunate in having its ruminants, and occasio- nally other herbivora, infested with three of them; namely, Fasciola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica, and Dicrocoelium dendriticum. A fo- urth species, Fascioloides magna, which is very probably of American origin, is known to be present in Europe and is probably spreading. It seems possible that it may invade Turkey in the future. Both F. hepa tica and D. dendriticum are widely distributed in Turkey; F. gigantica is somewhat less so.
