Epidemiological and ultrasonographic investigation of bovine fascioliasis in smallholder production system in Eastern Nile Delta of Egypt

Abstract: Regular updating of our knowledge on the epidemiological determinants of bovine fascioliasis is necessary to increase the awareness of the disease's significance and subsequently, improve the control measures. The objectives of this study were (1) to estimate the prevalence of bovine fascioliasis, and identify the association of epidemiological characteristics under traditional householders' production systems, (2) to describe the association between the clinical picture, Fasciola spp. egg count and hepatobili… Show more

“…The high rate of infection is caused because of the lack of appropriate parasite control program. This is in agreement with El Damaty et al 2018 [31], who found that administrating anthelmintic to animals on a regular basis decreased the risk of copro-positivity to Fasciola spp. by 0.17% in comparison to animals that received irregular doses of anthelmintic.…”

“…Additionally, buffaloes are raised on marshy pastures with high humidity, which favours the growth and multiplication of parasites as well as their vectors [9]. This remarkable finding is in accordance with the findings of El Damaty et al, 2018 [31] who reported a high prevalence of fascioliasis (33%) in water buffalo in Egypt. The authors attributed this high prevalence that water buffalo is a swamp animal prefer to frequently swim in the fresh Nile water, and therefore, it is frequently exposed to the intermediate host of Fasciola spp.…”

“…S. uberis is a well-known pathogen that causes bovine intramammary infections worldwide. Nonetheless, there are scant epidemiological data on S. uberis isolated from lactating cows in Egypt, especially in the smallholder production system, despite the fact that this extensive system type is the most common traditional livestock farming system among Egyptian farmers [49,50].…”

“…However, there has been little research on FMD in domestic water buffaloes. The smallholder production system by traditional householders is a common livestock production system in Egypt, which is scattered throughout the country [18]. This traditional breeding system is typically used for small herds or small numbers of animals kept for subsistence or as a source of additional income by households.…”
