Trematodiasis occurrence in cattle along the Progo River, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Abstract: Aim: This study aimed to measure the occurrence of trematodiasis in cattle along the Progo River, a district of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The findings help to establish the magnitude of the disease and encourage prevention and treatment of this condition. Materials and Methods: Trematode eggs were extracted from 100 fecal samples collected from cattle. The eggs were examined using the sedimentation technique, and the method of Parfitt and Banks was used to differentiate Paramphistomum spp. eggs from Fasciola spp… Show more

“…infections, fasciolosis has been identified by the WHO as a remerging neglected tropical disease associated with endemic and epidemic outbreaks of diseases in human populations [19]. Our findings indicate that the high prevalence of Fasciola spp in Kalasin Province may relate to the location of Kalasin Province which is adjacent to Lampao dam, resulting in the appropriate temperature and humidity for promoting the intermediate host population growth such as intermediate snail hosts and water vegetables [31,32]. Fascioliasis is a zoonosis and has a high prevalence among herding communities in developed countries because of their close contact with livestock animals [31].…”

“…It is estimated that 10-80% of dairy and meat cattle herds are infected in developed and developing countries. [20][21][22][23] The global economic burden to the industry was estimated at USD 3 billion per year in 1994. 24 More recent estimates from developed countries take into account losses in meat, milk, and wool production, as well as, treatment costs suggesting a much higher burden.…”
