“…Kobak and Pilarczyk (2012) found F. hepatica in 32% of buffaloes in the Notecka Forest region in Poland, which is almost twice the rate of infection with the present study. Racioppi et al (2007) also found high prevalence of F. hepatica infection (28.5%) in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. Buffaloes are usually exposed to a higher risk of infection with snail-borne helminths due to their tendency to seek rivers, pools or swamps for wallowing (Cockrill, 1974).…”

ABSTRACT. This study was conducted in order to determine the presence of parasitic infections of the Greek buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in the Prefecture of Serres, Northern Greece. During the period from February to October 2014, faecal samples from 110 buffaloes of the Greek buffalo breed (Bubalus bubalis), from 9 farms located in proximity to Lake Kerkini, in the Prefecture of Serres, Northern Greece, were examined, in order to find reproductive elements of parasites. Out of 110 faecal samples examined, 102 (92.73%) were found infected with reproductive elements (eggs, larvae, cysts and oocysts) of parasites. Specifically, the parasites found were: Eimeria spp. (40%), Entamoeba bovis (16.36%), Paramphistomum cervi (10%), Fasciola hepatica (16.36%), Dicrocoelium dendriticum (28.18%), Moniezia

“…Hasta el año 2000 los muestreos coprológicos negativos indicaban que los búfalos se encontraban libres de esta enfermedad en nuestra zona de influencia. Ese año se reportaron los primeros casos de decomisos de hígados infestados por F. hepatica en animales adultos faenados para consumo de carne 12 . La fasciolosis en bubalinos apareció cuando éstos se introdujeron en lugares previamente habitados por bovinos infestados, situación que demuestra que el parásito se transmite a los búfalos que comparten su hábitat con bovinos 7 .…”

<p>Fasciola hepática (Trematoda: Digenea) es el agente etiológico de la fasciolosis de los bóvidos. En la región el parásito causa pérdidas por decomiso de hígados y falta de rendimiento productivo de los animales afectados. La enfermedad está supeditada a la presencia de huéspedes intermediarios, caracoles pulmonados de la familia Lymnaeidae, cuyas poblaciones prosperan en ambientes acuáticos. En la Provincia de Corrientes la enfermedad se conoce desde hace mucho tiempo, afectando a bovinos y ovinos; no se hallaron datos referentes al ganado bubalino (Bubalus bubalis). El objetivo de este ensayo fue determinar la presencia del parásito en búfalos de 41 establecimientos ganaderos de diferentes departamentos de la provincia citada, en los cuales existían antecedentes de la enfermedad en bovinos. Durante los años 2005 a 2008 fueron relevados respectivamente 11, 14 y 16 establecimientos bubalinos (en total 1.200 búfalos de distintos sexos y edades), obteniéndose resultados positivos en once establecimientos (26,8%). Se refrenda que la fasciolosis aparece cuando los búfalos son introducidos en lugares ocupados previamente por bovinos infestados con F. hepatica.</p>

“…In India, goats were more infected than buffaloes [308]. Also, overall caprine fasciolosis was observed to be 20.75% in Bangladesh [309]. Recently, in Corrientes, Argentina, appearance of fasciolosis was observed in different buffalo populations showing 28.5% prevalence rate [310].…”

Water buffalo is an indispensable livestock in Asia and other countries due to its high meat and milk quality, aside from draft power source. It adapts well to tropical climate and has significant contribution to the livestock industry, provided with improved breeding and good animal husbandry practices. Infectious diseases are hindrance to good reproductive performance of livestock, resulting in huge economic loss. In addition, most of these diseases are zoonotic, posing serious threats on human health. However, its degree of severity varies in each region and is often overlooked. This chapter reviews the common and current updates on emerging bacterial, viral, protozoal, fungal and endoparasitic pathogens that infect water buffaloes worldwide. All of the diseases directly affect the animals' health condition except for schistosomiasis where water buffalo played an important role as shedder of infection to humans. Leptospirosis, brucellosis, Bovine Tb, BVDV and fasciolosis have projected economic impact to water buffalo industry as well as its effect as zoonoses. However, the data seem underquantified since most are neglected diseases and are highly prevalent in developing countries. Further studies are needed particularly in countries where water buffalo is the major livestock than cattle to fully utilize the potential of the animal.
