- •
We reveal the genetic diversity of Fasciola spp. in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
- •
We base our analysis on DNA sequences of ITS1 and 2 and CO1 regions.
- •
We reveal F. gigantica in Zimbabwe and F. gigantica and F. hepatica in South Africa.
- •
Fasciola hepatica was more prevalent in South Africa than F. gigantica.
- •
It is the first molecular confirmation of Fasciola spp. in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
