The main reservoirs for Dicrocoelium dendriticum are sheep, cows, land snails and ants. However, Dicrocoelium dendriticum has also been found in goats, pigs and even llamas and alpacas. Infection is often asymptomatic. Most Dicrocoelium dendriticum infections of the biliary tree produce only mild symptoms. The incubation period is 1 day to 2 weeks. In this environment, D. dendriticum eggs are highly resistant and remain infectious for up to 20 months. Due to the highly specific nature of this parasite’s life cycle, human infections are generally rare.
