Infection with Dicrocoelium dendriticum in humans is seldom to be reported in Egypt.

This liver fluke, which commonly infects ruminants, has a complex life cycle with two intermediate hosts; the land snail and the ant.

Human infection occurs by accidental ingestion of the second intermediate host.
