Abstract
- Fascioliasis is a reemerging zoonosis endemic in many parts of the world. Reports of imported fascioliasis by migrants into nonendemic countries are common, but tourists and business travelers are rarely afflicted. Here, we report a case of a New Zealander traveler who acquired the infection on a business trip.
