First Molecular Identification of Calicophoron daubneyi (Dinnik, 1962) and Paramphistomum leydeni (Nasmark, 1937) in Wild Ruminants from Romania [PDF]
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 Rumen flukes are geographically widespread trematodes affecting wild and domestic ruminants. The juvenile forms, which are found in the small intestine, are more pathogenic compared to the adults.

An in vitro confirmation of the ethonopharmacological use of Senna plants as anthelmintic against rumen fluke Paramphistomum gracile [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2019 Background Paramphistomosis is a pathogenic disease of domesticated ruminants, causing great economic loss in dairy industry and meat production. It is considered as a neglected tropical disease with highest prevalence throughout tropical and subtropical

New insights into trematode infections in cattle and their snail intermediate hosts in a Mediterranean area of Italy [PDF]
Food and Waterborne ParasitologyThis study investigated snails collected from eleven cattle farms in a Mediterranean area of southern Italy, where Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke) and Calicophoron daubneyi (rumen fluke) are known to occur.

First Molecular Identification of Cotylophoron cotylophorum in Ecuador and Its Phylogenetic Relationship with Fasciola hepatica [PDF]
PathogensTrematode infections caused by Fasciolidae and Paramphistomidae remain widespread in livestock, resulting in substantial economic losses. The two distinct fluke families are difficult to distinguish morphologically, and molecular identification provides ...

Individual host factors and co-infections affect the probability and excretion intensity of endoparasite infections in dairy cows [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Endoparasite infections cause economic losses in dairy farming. Understanding the factors that influence endoparasite prevalence and egg/oocyst excretion is essential for effective parasite control. Environmental and management factors play an

The Calicophoron daubneyi genome provides new insight into mechanisms of feeding, eggshell synthesis and parasite-microbe interactions [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground The rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi, is the major paramphistome species infecting ruminants within Europe. Adult flukes reside within the rumen where they are in direct contact with a unique collection of microorganisms. Here, we report a 1.

Comparison of Mini-FLOTAC, Flukefinder® and sedimentation techniques for detection and quantification of Fasciola hepatica and Calicophoron daubneyi eggs using spiked and naturally infected bovine faecal samples [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Fasciolosis (Fasciola hepatica) and paramphistomosis (Calicophoron daubneyi) are two important infections of livestock. Calicophoron daubneyi is the predominant Paramphistomidae species in Europe, and its prevalence has increased in the last ...

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

Mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal DNA dataset supports that Paramphistomum leydeni (Trematoda: Digenea) is a distinct rumen fluke species [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Rumen flukes parasitize the rumen and reticulum of ruminants, causing paramphistomiasis. Over the years, there has been considerable debate as to whether Paramphistomum leydeni and Paramphistomum cervi are the same or distant species.
