“…In the acute phase, metacercaria migration through the liver is associated with fever, right upper-quadrant pain, and hepatomegaly. This phase can be complicated by hemobilia or subcapsular hematomas of the liver [ 37 ]. In very severe infections, extensive necrosis of the liver parenchyma may occur.…”

(1) Background: Human fascioliasis is considered an endemic and hyper-endemic disease in the Peruvian Andean valleys. Our objective was to determine variations in the composition of the gut microbiota among children with Fasciola hepatica and children who do not have this parasitosis. (2) Method: A secondary analysis was performed using fecal samples stored in our biobank. The samples were collected as part of an epidemiological Fasciola hepatica cross-sectional study in children from 4 through 14 years old from a community in Cajamarca, Peru. (3) Results: In a comparison of the bacterial genera that make up the intestinal microbiota between the F. hepatica positive and negative groups, it was found that there are significant differences in the determination of Lactobacillus (p = 0.010, CI: 8.5–61.4), Bacteroides (p = 0.020, CI: 18.5–61.4), Clostridium (p < 0.001, CI: 3.5–36.0), and Bifidobacterium (p = 0.018, CI: 1.1–28.3), with each of these genera being less frequent in children parasitized with F. hepatica. (4) Conclusions: These results show that F. hepatica may be associated with direct or indirect changes in the bacterial population of the intestinal microbiota, particularly affecting three bacterial genera.

“…La seguridad alimentaria según, FAO 1996, es la situación y condición de los individuos de una nación con acceso físico y económico a suficientes alimentos inocuos y nutritivos para satisfacer sus necesidades alimenticias y sus preferencias en cuanto a los alimentos para llevar una vida activa [5]. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS,2013) incluye la fascioliasis en la lista de las ETD (Enfermedades Tropicales Desatendidas), dentro del grupo de las trematodiasis transmitidas por alimentos, esta enfermedad es considerada de tipo zoonótica [6,7].…”

Fascioliasis is a parasitic disease of herbivorous animals, especially the bovine and zoonotic species. It was proposed to analyze the number of cases through a retrospective study on the prevalence of seized livers due to the presence of the Fasciola hepatica parasite in the Municipal Cold Store of Ambato, province of Tungurahua belonging to the Sierra region with a temperate climate located in Ecuador, since the years 2016 to 2021 the first six months in this last year. The collection and analysis of the information was carried out between the months of January to August 2021. The methodology used was descriptive and through a bibliographic review of scientific and observational articles to help in the macroscopic determination of the parasite in cattle livers. that came to be slaughtered in the years already mentioned in this study. The total population of slaughtered bovines was taken; which were 110,867 in the six years of study, this number decreased due to restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2021. The prevalence of fascioliasis was analyzed for all study years, with an average of 7.27%, of this In this way, the presence of Fascioliasis in the Municipal Cold Store of Ambato-Ecuador is demonstrated; A plan is recommended on the management, prevention, control, treatment and eradication of said parasite and to make the population aware of the risk factors when consuming contaminated foods such as livers, watercress, vegetables and water contaminated with larvae. Keywords: Fasciola Hepatica, fascioliasis, safety, food, livers, confiscated. Resumen La Fascioliasis es una enfermedad parasitaria de los animales herbívoros, en especial de la especie bovina y zoonótica. Se planteó analizar el número de casos mediante un estudio retrospectivo sobre la prevalencia de hígados decomisados por la presencia del parásito Fasciola hepatica en el Camal Frigorífico Municipal de Ambato, provincia de Tungurahua perteneciente a la región Sierra con clima templado ubicado en Ecuador, desde los años 2016 al 2021 los primeros seis meses en este último año. La recopilación y análisis de la información se realizó entre los meses de enero a agosto del 2021. La metodología que se utilizó fue descriptiva y a través de revisión bibliográfica de artículos científicos y de observación para la ayuda en la determinación macroscópica del parásito en hígados en reses que llegaron a ser faenadas en los años ya mencionados del presente estudio. Se tomó la población total de bovinos faenados; que fueron 110 867 en los seis años de estudio, este número disminuyó por restricciones de la pandemia COVID-19 entre los años 2020 y 2021. Se analizó la prevalencia de fascioliasis para todos los años estudio, con un promedio de 7.27%, de esta manera se demuestra la presencia Fascioliasis en el Camal Frigorífico Municipal de Ambato-Ecuador; se recomienda un plan sobre el manejo, prevención, control, tratamiento y erradicación de dicho parásito y dar a conocer a la población sobre los factores de riesgo al consumir alimentos contaminados como higados, berros, vegetales y agua contaminada con larvas. Palabras Clave: Fasciola Hepatica, fascioliasis, seguridad,alimentos,hígados,decomisado.

Summary The objective of this study was to determine the risk factors and prevalence of trematodes in south-eastern Mexico. The prevalence of trematodes was determined in 1010 bovines. The study was carried out from October 2018 (n=291) to December 2019 (n=719). Only in 2019 rumen and liver fluke eggs were differentiated. Faecal samples (n=311) were obtained from farms in southeast Mexico located in Tabasco, Chiapas and Campeche. In addition, the presence of flukes in liver and rumen from slaughtered cattle in abattoirs was recorded with a total of 408 samples. A logistic procedure was used to obtain the prevalence and the effect of main risk factors such as land physiography (flooded areas and hills), year, sex, animals’ age and type of sample obtained (eggs in faeces and flukes). The general prevalence of flukes in cattle was 32.3 % in 2018 and 41.7 % in 2019. Prevalence of F. hepatica (liver fluke) was 18.6 % (134/719) and that of paramphistomids (rumen fluke) was 33.4 % (240/719). The infected cattle from the slaughterhouse indicated a lower prevalence of F. hepatica (1 %) and rumen fluke (26.7 %) than in farms detected by egg in faeces (41.8 % and 42.1 %, respectively). The physiographic zone was decisive in the presence of F. hepatica and rumen fluke, while sex did not represent a risk factor (P > 0.05). The environmental conditions of the Mexican southeast favour the presence of both liver and rumen fluke.
