“…cause one of the most important zoonotic diseases with a global economic impact on livestock production systems and a poorly defined but direct effect on human health [1] . Its life cycle includes freshwater snails (Lymnaeidae) as an intermediate host [2] . The worldwide losses in animal productivity due to fasciolosis were conservatively estimated at over US $ 3.2 billion per annual [3] .…”

“…Fasciolosis is estimated to be responsible for the annual loss of thousands of dollars in the Iranian agricultural industries. In Iran, fasciolosis in domestic ruminants is mainly caused by F. hepatica; however, the occurrence of F. gigantica has also been reported from different parts of the country [18]. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica infection in ruminants in 2013 in Dasht Room area, a rural district in Yasuj (Yasuj is a city in and the capital of Kohgiluye and Boyer-Ahmad Province, Iran.…”

Abstract:Fasciola spp is one of the liver bile ducts and gallbladder Trematodes in Ruminants. In the life cycle of the worm, snails are intermediate hosts and parasitic infection is happened by eating aquatic vegetables contaminated with Metacercaria. Humans also can be infected with this worm. Thus, Finding the contaminated villages where high infection in animals is reported, can help to control diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of Fascioliasis in Ruminants in 2013 in Dasht Room area, a rural district in Yasuj prevalence. This cross -sectional study, a total of 600 stool samples from Ruminants, including sheep, goat and cattle were collected from six villages in Dasht Room region. The stool samples were transported to the Parasitology laboratory and tested by standard Acid -Ether precipitation method (Thelman method). Sediments were studied with an optical microscope at magnifications of ×10. 174 out of 600 stool samples (29%) were positive for Fasciola spp eggs, including 63 sheep (26/03%), 40 goats (23/3%) and 71 cattle (37/9%), respectively. Significant differences between the infection rates of live stocks were not observed in spring and summer season. The most contamination was observed in cattle and the least in goat. Statistically significant difference was observed between them in summer season (P <0/05). Considering to high contamination in the present study (29%), Dasht Room County is a high risk area for Fasciolosis in Ruminants.

“…Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods amplifying 28S and 18S nuclear ribosomal genes (Imani-Baran et al, 2012) and their internal transcribed spacers, ITS-1 and -2 (Ai et al, 2010;Caron et al, 2011), have been used to detect trematode stages in intermediate hosts, as have mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (Cox-1) genes (Cucher et al, 2006). One such technique using mtDNA Cox-1 and the rDNA ITS-2 has been validated for D. dendriticum detection in snails from one day post-infection, and in ants infected with a single metacercaria (Martinez-Ibeas et al, 2011).…”
