The invention also provides for an improved method for eradicating and con trolling liver fluke parasite infections and infestations in a mammal comprising administering the compositions of the invention to the mammal in need thereof. WO 2015/196014 PCT/US2015/036580 PARASITICIDAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING INDOLE DERIVATIVES, METHODS AND USES THEREOF INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE This application claims priority to provisional application USSN 62/014,245, filed on 19 June, 2014, and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides parasiticidal indole derivatives and oral, topical or injectable veterinary compositions comprising an indole derivative active agent for controlling liver flukes in mammals. The use of these compounds and compositions against liver flukes and methods for treating parasitic infections and infestations in mammals is presented herein. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Animals such as mammals (including humans) are often susceptible to parasite infections and infestations. These parasites may be ectoparasites, such as insects, and endoparasites such as filariae and other worms. Production animals, such as cows, pigs, sheep and goats, can be infected with one or more trematodes. Of particular concern here is Fasciola hepatica (i.e., liver fluke or F. hepatica). Liver flukes are a particular problem because they adversely affect the health of the animal or human and can inflict significant economic loss in a domestic livestock population. It is estimated that F. hepatica poses a risk to at least 250 million sheep and 350 million cattle worldwide. Moreover, domestic animals other than sheep and cows may serve as intermediate hosts. Liver flukes can cause liver condemnation, secondary infections, reduced milk and meat production, abortion and fertility problems. Several types of control measures for liver flukes have been introduced over the past century. First, halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., CCl 4 ; carbon tetrachloride) were introduced for ruminants in the 1920s. Halogenated hydrocarbons had limited success and are no longer used primarily because of their adverse effects and variable efficacy. Second, halogenated phenols were administered in the late 1950s (e.g., hexachlorophene and bithionol sulfoxide) followed by 1 WO 2015/196014 PCT/US2015/036580 the similar halogenated salicylanilides (e.g., oxyclozanide, bromoxanide). Fourth, benzimidazole carbamates (e.g., albendazole, luxabendazole) were found to have a broad anthelmintic spectrum against nematodes and mature F. hepatica. Another benzimidazole - the chlorinated methylthiobenzimidazole derivative triclabendazole - has a high success rate against F. hepatica. Fifth, bisanilino compounds introduced in the 1960s were intolerable due to toxic side effects. Finally, benzene sulfonamides (e.g., clorsulon) were studied in the 1970s. Extensively modified examples of this class demonstrate high efficacy on both mature and immature F. hepatica. Of these six classes of anthelmintics the benzimidazole class is perhaps the most widely used for its high efficacy. Indeed, triclabendazole is the current drug of choice against mature and immature liver flukes. Not surprisingly, however, reports of parasite resistance are increasing. For example, Mottier et al., report that a population of resistant F. hepatica (Sligo) may use an altered influx/efflux mechanism to selectively decrease the amount of triclabendazole and triclabendazole sulfoxide but not albendazole. See Mottier et al., J. Parasitol., 92(6), 2006, pp. 1355-1360. McConville et al., report that juvenile triclabendazole-resistant F. hepatica are somewhat susceptible to compound alpha (i.e., 5-chloro-2-methylthio-6-(1-naphthyloxy)-1H benzimidazole) via a tubulin-independent mechanism. See McConville et al., Parasitol. Res., (2007) 100:365-377. Further, Keiser et al., report the testing of artemether and OZ78 in triclabendazole-resistant F. hepatica, although at high concentrations. For a short review of triclabendazole resistance see Brennan et al., Experimental and Molecular Pathology, 82, (2007) pp. 104-109. There is, however, little in the literature disclosing indoles as a treatment for trematodes.
