The main objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of fascioliasis infections in cattle and buffaloes, slaughtered in El-Kharga city slaughterhouse at New Valley Governorate.
The slaughtered animals were daily inspected for liver fascioliasis allover 2016. Macroscopic fascioliasis was detected from a total of 2251 basing on animals specie, sex, season, and spp. in addition to microscopic examination of blood, fecal samples which collected from female cattle and buffalo (50 each).
The total prevalence rate of sp. infection occurs in the study area were about 695/2251 (30.88%) from the total cattle and bovine slaughtered carcasses. The incidence of fascioliasis was 4/12 (33.33%) and 678/2200 (30.82%) for females and males cattle carcasses, respectively, while the infection rate in buffalo carcasses was 1/4 (25.00%) and 12/35 (34.29%) for females and males buffalo carcasses, respectively.
The moderate fasciolosis infection in cattle and buffaloes slaughtered at the municipal abattoir of El-Kharga, Egypt. The highest fascioliasis infection was recorded during winter and autumn. It constitutes a major cause of economic losses at El-Kharga abattoir and threat public health.
本研究的主要目的是确定在新河谷省埃尔-哈尔加市屠宰场宰杀的牛和水牛中肝片吸虫病感染的流行情况。
在2016年全年对宰杀的动物进行肝片吸虫病的日常检查。基于动物种类、性别、季节和虫种，从总共2251头动物中检测到宏观肝片吸虫病，此外还对从母牛和母水牛（各50头）采集的血液、粪便样本进行了显微镜检查。
在研究区域，从宰杀的牛和水牛尸体中，肝片吸虫感染的总流行率约为695/2251（30.88%）。母牛尸体的肝片吸虫病发病率为4/12（33.33%），公牛尸体为678/2200（30.82%），而母水牛尸体的感染率为1/4（25.00%），公水牛尸体为12/35（34.29%）。
在埃及埃尔-哈尔加市立屠宰场宰杀的牛和水牛中，肝片吸虫病感染程度为中度。肝片吸虫病感染率在冬季和秋季最高。它是埃尔-哈尔加屠宰场经济损失的主要原因，并威胁到公众健康。
