Abattoir surveillance reveals high bovine fascioliasis prevalence in slaughtered cattle, indicating the need for regular veterinary inspection and ranching.
Key Points
Bovine fascioliasis infected 47.00% of slaughtered cattle, with female cows showing a significantly higher infection rate of 55.00% compared to their male counterparts.
Assessment using the formal ether concentration technique enabled ova detection in fecal samples, while recovered Fasciola flukes were collected directly from abattoir livers.
Calls for systematic veterinary inspection and strategic herd treatments, as endemic fascioliasis persists and pastoral nomadism facilitates continuous parasite transmission.
