“…The occurrence of different infections in an area is influenced by multifactor system which comprises hosts, parasitic, environmental effects and physical and psychological stressors which capable of altering immune function in animals [8,11]. The rate of liver and lung hydatid cysts in this study were 4.10 and 8.66% in sheep and 1.18 and 5.87% in cattle which was lower than those reported by [6] in Arbil province whom found 27.4% of goats and 22.3% of cattle were infected with hydatid cysts.…”

“…Severe lung lesions could lead to greatly decreased growth performance of the animals [5]. In Iraq many studies were conducted about livestock liver and lung infections like in Erbil, Al-Najaf, Kirkuk and Baghdad [6,7,8,9]. In Kurdistan, we have very little precise statistics on livestock's liver and lung infections, and no deepened survey has been led on their epidemiology, and because of the important economic impact on sheep, goats and cattle, the present study aimed to show the prevalence of hydatid cysts in liver and lung, necrosis, fascioliasis and pneumonia in these studying animals.…”

This study was conducted at the slaughterhouses of Koya / Erbil governorate from (January to December 2013) on 15919 slaughtered ruminants to investigate hydatid cysts, necrosis, fascioliasis, pneumonia, and its frequency. The results showed height significant differences (P<0.01) between different months and between different infections in both sheep and cattle liver, while the differences were insignificant in goats, whereas the differences were significant regarding lung infections in sheep, goats and cattle. The highest percentage of liver hydatid cyst was recorded in sheep especially in February (6.54%) followed by cattle in March (2.17%) and goat in September (0.22%). The highest percentage of liver necrosis was recorded in sheep especially in October (3.43%) followed by cattle in June (1.46%) and goat in July (0.26%). The highest percentage of liver fascioliasis was record in cattle especially in June (2.30%) followed by sheep in March (0.98%) but the goat had no infection throughout the year. The highest percentage of lung hydatid cyst was record in sheep followed by cattle especially in November (17.54 and 10.17%) respectively, followed by goat in September (0.22%). These records was continue for pneumonia, as highest percentage was recorded in sheep then cattle in October (19.71 and 10.22%) followed by goat in February (2.38%).

“…Iraq suffered a financial loss of US$ 8801.69/year as a result of the condemnation of contaminated animal parts [12] . The overall economic loss in Turkey due to fasciolosis was assessed to be US$ 63.03 based on the company's wholesale rates [13] .…”

Fasciolosis is one of the important diseases of livestock and has zoonotic importance. Fasciolosis can cause huge economic losses due to decrease in milk and meat production, decreased feed conversion ratio, and cost of treatment. Treatment and prophylaxis strategies for Fasciola infection are formed based on epidemiological data. The control of Fasciola infection can be attained by treating the animals with active anthelmintics. The use of different combinations of anthelmintics with a possible rotation is more effective against immature as well as adult flukes. Control of the intermediate host (snail) is vital for the reduction of fasciolosis. Due to the rapid growth of snails, the eradication is quite difficult in waterlogged and marshy areas. The use of different grazing methods and treatment of grazing areas can also help to control fasciolosis. A variety of antigens generated by Fasciola spp. have been shown to protect against liver fluke infection. The crude antigens, excretory/secretory, and refined antigens and their combination can be used as prophylactic treatment for the control of fasciolosis. The use of any of the single or combination of these methods can be very effective for the control of fasciolosis.

“…Fascioliasis is a severe parasitic disease that affects ruminants (sheep, goats, and cattle), humans, and other mammals, caused by infection with F. hepatica and F. gigantica (1,2). These flukes cause severe public health issues and critical economic losses in livestock production (3,4). Fascioliasis in domestic ruminants leads to economic loss because of reduced production of milk, meat, and wool; reduced herd productivity; condemned livers; and raised mortality rates of animals (5,6).…”

This study aimed to characterize and identify the genotypes of Fasciola spp. isolated from sheep, goats, and cattle in Duhok province based on the ITS1 region of rDNA. About 54 adult Fasciola flukes were individually isolated from the livers of naturally infected ruminants. After morphological identification, the genomic DNA of 54 isolated Fasciola spp. was successfully extracted, and the ITS1segment (518 bp) of rDNA was amplified. The amplicons were confirmed by gel electrophoresis and yielded mono cleared bands. Five amplicons from these samples (2 sheep, 2 cattle, and 1 goat) were selected for sequencing and then compared with NCBI-GenBank sequences for genotyping and phylogenetic analysis. Sequencing analysis and the BLAST results revealed that 3/5 of the resultant sequences were F. hepatica and 2/5 were F. gigantica. The ITS1 sequences were submitted to NCBI-GenBank with accession numbers: OM920533, OM920534, OM948733, OM948683, and OM918714. Alignment analysis of the current study and GenBank ITS1 sequences showed the presence of nucleotide variations between F. hepatica and F. gigantica species (interspecific), which were enough to separate them. At the same time, they were not observed within the same species of Fasciola (intraspecific). The pairwise identity percentage of intraspecific and interspecific Fasciola isolates was 100% and 99.2-99.6%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS1 sequences demonstrated that the Fasciola isolates of this study were clustered into two clades (hepatica and gigantica clades). The present study concluded that both Fasciola spp. (F. hepatica and F. gigantica) existed among the infected ruminants in Duhok province, and are closely related to intraspecific Fasciola isolates from different countries in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Africa.
