Mortalities and wasting in Indonesian sheep associated with the trematode Eurytrema pancreaticum

Sequencing and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome from the pancreatic fluke Eurytrema pancreaticum (Trematoda: Dicrocoeliidae)

“…These flukes are considered minimally pathogenic, and are generally discovered incidentally at necropsy or at the slaughterhouse. However, Eurytrema can relate to a decrease in the productive performance of infected animals, including weight loss, reduced meat production, and eventual death, but mortality is no more than 3% in affected beef herds (Graydon et al, 1992;Ilha et al, 2005). Some reports have indicated that Eurytrema can also accidentally infect humans through dietary habits (Zhang and Li, 1964;Ishii et al, 1983;Li and Lu, 2011).…”

Euritrematose bovina

“…As principais alterações macroscópicas do pâncreas foram relatadas por Graydon et al (1992), sendo: alteração do volume em muitas vezes, com seu comprimento extremamente diminuído, coloração pálida, consistência dura. Yamamura (1989) classificou as lesões macroscópicas produzidas por E. coelomaticum em três tipos:…”

Eurytrema coelomaticum natural infection in small ruminants: a neglected condition

“…The disease is well-documented in cattle in Brazil and Asia (Tang and Tang, 1977; Tang and Lin, 1980; Bassani et al ., 2006; Schwertz et al ., 2015; Okajima et al ., 2016). There are a few reports of PE in small ruminants and existent reports are primarily from Asia (Tang and Lin, 1980; Graydon et al ., 1992; Dorny et al ., 1996; Ma et al ., 2014).…”
