“…The infection rate in different age categories of the cattle showed no statistical significance (p >0.05). This result is similar with the findings of Kheirandish et al (2016) The authors however, suggested that higher number of older cattle were sampled in their study than the young.…”

Diagnostic tools to detect and differentiate Fasciola species have improved, but the understanding of the distribution and population structure of this parasite is location dependent. This study was aimed to phenotypically identify Fasciola species from cattle brought for slaughter at Birnin Kebbi Modern Abattoir. Ante-mortem faecal samples were collected from the sampled cattle for worm egg detection and post-mortem inspection of liver samples were performed. Two methods of Parasitological (Flukefinder Kit and formalin-ether sedimentation) methods were performed on the faecal samples. Results have yielded a high prevalence (31.2%) of fluke eggs with the Flukefinder Kit than with formalin-ether sedimentation technique (8.5%). Prevalence was higher (34%) in the males than in female (26.2%) cattle. Younger cattle (34.3%) were also more infected than their older (30.7%) counterpart. Sokoto Gudali had the highest prevalence of 44.0% followed by Red Bororo with 34.0%, and the least prevalence was observed in Bunaji breed with 18.0%. Statistical analyses results had revealed no significant relation between prevalence of fasciolosis and the co-variables (sex, age) as p > 0.05 but there was a significant association between prevalence and breed of cattle (p = 0.018). There was no significant agreement between the methods of faecal analyses used. Prevalence of 15.8% was observed from the post-mortem examination. This have increased the knowledge about the existence of the parasite in the study area. It is recommended that the Flukefinder® Kit should be used in diagnosis of Fasciola species due to its high sensitivity compared to the conventional sedimentation method.

“…Theileriosis is a hemolytic disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Theileria , belonging to Piroplasmida together with Babesia and Cytauxzoon ( Mehlhorn and Schein, 1985 ; Kheirandish et al, 2020 ). Piroplasms may parasitize in the white and red blood cells of red fox, European badger, and wild cat, and can be transmitted by ticks to the domestic animals ( Levine, 1988 ; Barandika et al, 2016 ).…”

The great gerbil ( Rhombomys opimus ), widely distributed in Asia, is a natural reservoir for Yersinia pestis , Leishmania donovani and some species of helminths. In this study, 188 great gerbils were sampled in Alataw City and Manas County, northwestern China, and tested for the presence of Theileria , Hepatozoon and Taenia species by molecular methods. Theileria sp., named as “Candidatus Theileria xinjiangensis ”, was detected in heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of 6.9% rodents. Six genotypes of “ Taenia sp. Rhombomys opimus ”, which were close to Taenia laticollis (87.3–94.0% identities), were detected in cyst liquid of 5.3% rodents. “ Hepatozoon ayorgbor- like” haemogregarines was detected in spleens of 1.6% rodents. To our best knowledge, Candidatus Theileria xinjiangensis , Hepatozoon ayorgbor -like and genotypes of “ Taenia sp. Rhombomys opimus ” were found for the first time in the great gerbil. These results extend our knowledge on the diversity and pathogenesis of Theileria , Hepatozoon and Taenia species.
