Rumen and Liver Fluke Infections in Sheep and Goats in Northern and Southern Germany [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Paramphistomidosis has recently been identified as an emerging parasitosis in Europe. This study estimated the prevalence of rumen flukes, Fasciola hepatica and Dicrocoelium dendriticum, in small ruminants in Germany and identified occurring rumen fluke ...

The effect of naturally acquired rumen fluke infection on animal health and production in dairy and beef cattle in the UK [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The incidence of paramphistomosis, caused by the rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi, has greatly increased within Europe in the last 15–20 years. However, the production impacts of this disease are poorly understood.

Multi‐Environment Quantification of Parasite and Intermediate Host DNA on Pasture for Fine‐Scale Disease Risk Assessment

Environmental DNA
Parasite transmission occurs in complex environments comprising multiple matrices. Trematode parasites of ruminant livestock such as the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica and the rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi, show affinity with freshwater environments

Development of a qPCR assay for Fasciola spp. identification and a deep amplicon sequencing method for differentiation of fluke species in UK livestock. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundTrematode parasites, or flukes, are a significant economic threat to ruminant production worldwide. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on egg sedimentation from faeces, a time-consuming methodology lacking sensitivity and specificity.

Genetic identification of gastrointestinal parasites in the world's most endangered ungulate, the hirola (Beatragus hunteri). [PDF]

Vet Rec
Abstract Background The hirola (Beatragus hunteri) is the world's most critically endangered antelope. Its parasitic fauna has never been genetically characterised, raising questions about its possible role in the species' population decline. This study aimed to assess the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in hirolas and their transmission ...

Study on the Vector Role for Calicophoron daubneyi of Some Aquatic Snails form Western Romania

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
In the last decade, Calicophoron daubneyi parasites have been found in animals in many European countries. Its development and spread are predicated on the presence of numerous intermediate hosts, but mainly on the presence of the aquatic snail Galba ...

Parasitic infections in the organic beef cattle herds of southern Poland during the grazing season, with the first record of Calicophoron daubneyi (Dinnik, 1962) in the country [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Research
Grazing cattle are vulnerable to the harmful effects of gastrointestinal parasites. Organically farmed cattle are even more so because conventional antiparasitic treatments are restricted, yet parasite infection patterns in Polish organic herds remain ...

Beyond stabilization: prevalence, risk factors and molecular identification of rumen flukes in cattle from Northwestern Spain [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Background An upward trend of paramphistomid prevalence was detected in domestic ruminants from Europe in the last decades. Nevertheless, recent data from Ireland, which reports the highest prevalences in Europe, suggests that this trend may be ...

The prevalence and infection rates of amphistome species in intermediate snail hosts: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
The systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to determine the estimates of the prevalence and infection rates of natural and experimental infections of amphistome species in intermediate host snails (IHs) across different continents.
