“…Peso de vísceras parasitadas. Durante el período inicial de la fascioliasis, los gusanos jóvenes, al trasladarse por el peritoneo y el parénquima hepático, provocan reacción tisular a cuerpo extraño originando inflamación del peritoneo con exudado e infiltrado leucocitario de eosinófilos, principalmente; el hígado crece y presenta necrosis y microabscesos (32). Sin embargo, cuando los parásitos se sitúan en los canales biliares, estos se dilatan y esclerosan, fibrosándose e inflamándose de manera crónica en su contorno.…”

Objetivo. Determinar el porcentaje de fascioliasis y equinococosis quística; también, el impacto del comiso de vísceras en rumiantes faenados en el matadero municipal de Abancay, Perú. Materiales y métodos. El estudio fue básico, transversal y analítico. Se incluyeron todos los rumiantes faenados en el matadero, de septiembre a diciembre de 2012. Se determinó el peso vivo de los rumiantes, además del peso de sus vísceras sanas e infectadas. Se estimó la pérdida económica por la incautación de vísceras. El análisis de los datos se realizó con el programa Excel Windows 2010 y el paquete estadístico MINITAB versión 17. Se utilizó la prueba de Chi-cuadrado para determinar diferencias entre proporciones y la prueba t de igualdad de medias, utilizando un nivel de confianza del 95%. Resultados. El porcentaje de infección por fascioliasis fue 79.6% (IC 95% = 77.7-81.6) en bovinos, 53.2% (IC 95% = 48.9-57.4) en ovejas y 21% (IC 95% = 16.1-25.8) en cabras. El porcentaje de infección por equinococosis quística fue 5,4% (IC 95% = 4.3-6.6) en bovinos, 16.7% (IC 95% = 13.5-19.7) en ovejas y 12.4% (IC 95% = 8.4-16.3) en cabras. La pérdida económica en la temporada de estudio fue de USD 16.507,46. Conclusiones. La presencia de duela hepática afecta el peso de los hígados en bovinos y ovinos. El quiste hidatídico afecta el peso del hígado en todos los rumiantes estudiados y afecta el peso de los pulmones en ovejas y cabras. La mayor pérdida económica se debió al comiso de hígados debido a la fascioliasis.

“…In many patients, headache was reported to appear during the invasive phase, sometimes very early or be even the first symptom (Aliaga et al, 1984;Andresen et al, 2000;Anton Aranada et al, 1985;Arlet et al, 1966;Berenger, 1984;Bereni and Duboureau, 1963;Bernheim et al, 1958;Brouet et al, 1951;Coulaud et al, 1970;Giffoniello et al, 1983;Guyot, 1962;MacLean and Graeme-Cook, 2002;Nuñez Fernández et al, 2001;Schussele and Laperrouza, 1971a,b;Tezer et al, 2013;Ying et al, 2007). However, cephaleas have also been many times reported in patients diagnosed during the biliary phase (Ahualli and Arias, 1961;Berenger, 1984;Birjawi et al, 2002;Cames et al, 1947;Carena et al, 1972;Domart et al, 1967;Dunet, 1924;Garde et al, 1961;Málaga et al, 2012;Mendoza, 1922;Patrick and Isaac-Renton, 1992;Pesse and Atias, 1956;Ragab and Farag, 1978;Sonzini Astudillo et al, 1973;Strada, 1961;Torrealba, 1922), sometimes even in the very advanced chronic stage, after many years postinfection or a long time after from the first typical symptoms, as 8 years (Bello, 1916;Stemmermann, 1953), 10 years , 11 years (Desage, 1926), 12 years (Del Valle and Donovan, 1928), or even 15 years …”

“…Interestingly, headache is frequently detected in patients coinfected with other infectious agents, such as hepatitis C virus (Wahib et al, 2006), brucellosis (El-Metwally et al, 2011;Mohammad et al, 2011), and toxocariasis (Tezer et al, 2013).…”

“…These symptoms are considered systemic events when caused by biological substances released by the dying worms (Villegas et al, 2012). In fascioliasis, such side effects have been described after treatment with different drugs, such as Glucantime (Brouet et al, 1951); Entobex ® , with important frontal cephalalgias reappearing after four cures with that drug (case 1 of Berenger, 1984); praziquantel, including both headache and dizziness in 46.15% of 26 schoolchildren treated (Yassien et al, 1996); chloroquine, including additionally migraines and marked tremors (Facey and Marsden, 1960); metronidazole (Mansour-Ghanaei et al, 2003), artemether (Keiser et al, 2011); and triclabendazole (Aksoy et al, 2005;Keiser et al, 2011;Tezer et al, 2013;Villegas et al, 2012).…”

“…4 Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica are the etiological agents for the zoonotic disease fascioliasis. 5 This disease is widespread among farm animals favoring sheep and cattle as hosts and humans can be indirectly infected as well. 6 Saudi Arabia attracts thousands of foreign workers annually from all over the globe, including the countries of India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines.…”

Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica are two trematodes (liver flukes) that cause water- and food-borne disease Fasciolosis. Many animals are involved in the life cycle of the Fasciola spp., such as sheep, cattle, and camels, and humans are the definitive host. This work investigated the prevalence of Fasciola among imported and local slaughtered sheep and the relation between infection rate and seasons of the year. A total of 720,290 local and imported sheep (251,701 and 468,489, respectively) were slaughtered in a Jeddah slaughterhouse (Western region of Saudi Arabia) over the periods of 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020. In the three years of inspection, the infection rate at slaughter was higher among imported than local sheep. In 2017-2018, both local and imported sheep had the highest level of infection in the spring and the lowest in the winter. However, in 2018-2019, the highest rate of infection for both was documented in the summer and the lowest in the winter. Lastly, in 2019-2020, the highest rate of infection for local sheep was observed in the summer of 2020 and the lowest rate of infection was observed in the spring of 2020. Among imported sheep, the highest rate of infection was in the summer and the lowest was in winter for both 2019 and 2020. To control this disease, there is the need to apply for successful integrated programs and practice adaptive management techniques.
