Abstract
Histopathology of liver of goat infected with Fasciola gigantica has revealed that portal tract area is greatly damaged. It has become fibrotic affecting the artery, bile duct and portal vein. Fragmentation of bile duct and epithelium sludging of vein was obvious in this area. Diffusion of arterial wall was also prominent. In some cases vein was totally blocked by fibrous tissue accompanied by bile duct hyperplasia. In addition to this hepatic cords and hepatocytes lost the normal shape and architecture.
