Investigations carried out on trematode parasites affecting cattle and buffaloes in Ismailia Governorate revealed a degree of infection with Fasciola sp. attaining 6.95% among the former, and 16.16% among the latter. Concerning Paramphistomum sp. infection, it was 43.83% among cattle and 9% among buffaloes. During these studies, it appeared that cattle or buffaloes having no infection with Fasciola sp. or those being infected with Paramphistomum sp. only proved to harbour Entamoeba bovis trophozoites with a percentage of about 85% in cattle, and 80% among buffaloes. This protozoan parasite was also recovered from the gall bladders and bile ducts of slaughtered beef cattle that had no infection with liver flukes. The morphological picture of the fresh E. bovis trophozoite as well as its cyst were described, and the significance of such parasite on its host was discussed.
对伊斯梅利亚省影响牛和水牛的吸虫寄生虫进行的调查显示，牛的肝片吸虫感染率为6.95%，水牛的感染率为16.16%。关于双口吸虫感染，牛的感染率为43.83%，水牛的感染率为9%。在这些研究中，未感染肝片吸虫或仅感染双口吸虫的牛或水牛似乎携带牛内阿米巴滋养体，牛的携带率约为85%，水牛的携带率为80%。这种原生动物寄生虫也从未感染肝吸虫的屠宰肉牛的胆囊和胆管中发现。描述了新鲜牛内阿米巴滋养体及其包囊的形态，并讨论了这种寄生虫对其宿主的意义。
