In vitro co-culture of Fasciola hepatica newly excysted juveniles (NEJs) with 3D HepG2 spheroids permits novel investigation of host–parasite interactions

Fasciola hepatica, or liver fluke, causes fasciolosis in humans and livestock. Following ingestion of vegetation contaminated with encysted parasites, metacercariae, newly excysted juveniles (NEJ) excyst in the small intestine and cross the intestinal wall.
