Fasciola hepatica is a complex multicellular pathogen and the causative agent of fascioliasis, a zoonotic disease that compromises liver function. Using spatial transcriptomics, the authors uncover the tissue-specific gene expression of F. hepatica and identify genes with expression in the surface layer for drug-target discovery.
