Fasciolosis is a foodborne disease caused by sp. infecting ruminants, especially cattle. Fasciolosis remains a significant concern for Veterinary Public Health because of its zoonosis risk and transmission mode.
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with infestation in cattle at Ampel abbatoir, Central Java, Indonesia.
A cross-sectional study was performed on 585 cattle from February to August 2022. Visual observation postmortem was used to assess infection based on adult flukes in liver parenchyma and ductuli biliferi.
The overall prevalence of fasciolosis in Ampel abbatoir is high, reaching 25.12% (147/585). The highest prevalence was observed in the Ongole breed, 42.1% (24/57), female cattle, 38.72% (115/297), body condition score criteria of 2 50% (21/42), cattle aged >3.5 years 46.06% (82/178), and cattle originated from outside of Boyolali district 33.33% (71/213).
This study showed a high prevalence of fasciolosis in Ampel abbatoir, as shown in the correlation between the risk factors of breed, sex, body condition score (BCS), origin, and age. Because of the high prevalence of fasciolosis in the abattoirs, it is essential to continue performing epidemiology studies in more expansive areas. The subsequent plans are important to reduce the risk of fasciolosis as a threat to productive cattle husbandry and warrant its transmission to humans as a foodborne-zoonotic disease.
片形吸虫病是一种食源性疾病,由 感染反刍动物引起,尤其是牛。由于其人畜共患病风险和传播模式,片形吸虫病仍然是兽医公共卫生的一个重要关注点。
本研究旨在确定印度尼西亚中爪哇省 Ampel 屠宰场牛感染 的流行率和相关风险因素。
2022 年 2 月至 8 月期间,对 585 头牛进行了横断面研究。采用剖检后肉眼观察的方法,根据在肝实质和胆管中发现的成虫来评估 感染情况。
Ampel 屠宰场的片形吸虫病总流行率较高,达到 25.12%(147/585)。最高流行率见于 Ongole 品种,为 42.1%(24/57)、母牛,为 38.72%(115/297)、体况评分标准为 2 50%(21/42)、年龄>3.5 岁的牛 46.06%(82/178)、以及来自博约拉利区以外的牛 33.33%(71/213)。
本研究表明 Ampel 屠宰场的片形吸虫病流行率较高,与品种、性别、体况评分(BCS)、来源和年龄等风险因素有关。由于屠宰场的片形吸虫病流行率较高,有必要继续在更广泛的地区开展流行病学研究。后续计划对于降低片形吸虫病作为对生产性牛养殖的威胁的风险以及确保其作为食源性病畜共患病的传播至关重要。
