| description | <b>Aim:</b> The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence
of Fasciola sp. infection in ruminants of different species,
age groups and in seasons.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Faecal samples were collected
during four seasons (winter, spring, summer and autumn)
from Kishoregonj district of Bangladesh. Animals were divided
into species and ages (<2 years and >2 years). Native
and sedimentation techniques were used to determine the
eggs.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Out of the 6220 ruminants, 2319 were infected
(37%) with Fasciola sp. The infection rate was highest in
buffaloes (44.49%) then cattle (37.90%), goat (32%) and
lowest was recorded in sheep (30.91%). Maximum rate of
infection was recorded (p<0.05) in autumn (47.34%) and
lowest rate was recorded in summer (26.96%). Fasciola sp.
was observed higher in older animals (39.63%) than younger
(33.95%).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> This result therefore calls for an improved disease
control and adequate sanitation programme for ruminants. |
