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 ...

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.

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

Rangifer, 2009 Although numerous Paramphistomum species have been described from the rumen and reticulum of domestic and wild ruminants, information about rumen flukes in reindeer is sparse and their nomenclature is somewhat conflicting.

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 ...
