Flukes of the family are localized in liver, gall bladder, and the intestine.

Morphological features

*length of adults: 2 ("Parafasciolopsis") up to 10 cm ("Fasciola gigantica", "Fascioloides magna")
*suckers: oral and ventral sucker are closely located
*cercariae: gymnocephalic shape [Pybus, M.J., 2001. Liver flukes. In: Samuel, W.M., Pybus, M.J., Kocan, A.A. (eds.), Parasitic diseases in wild mammals, Iowa State Press, Iowa City, pp 121149.]
