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 ...

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]

Veterinary Record, Volume 196, Issue 12, 21/28 June 2025.
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 ...

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 ...

Molecular approaches to uncover the fundamental biology of Calicophoron daubneyi [PDF]

, 2019
Over the past decade rumen fluke have emerged as a major parasite of livestock in Western Europe. Although recognised to cause clinical and sub-clinical disease in non-temperate regions, there have only been few studies into the potential economic losses associated with infections in temperate areas.

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 ...

A Study into the Identity, Patterns of Infection and Potential Pathological Effects of Rumen Fluke and the Frequency of Co-Infections with Liver Fluke in Cattle and Sheep

Ruminants, 2023
Rumen fluke (RF) are trematode parasites that have increased in prevalence within European ruminant livestock since the 1990s. Morbidity and mortality can result from the development of juvenile flukes in the duodenum, however, evidence for significant ...

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.
