In December 1989, fascioliasis was diagnosed in thirty-three 18-month-old fattening cattle from the same cowshed in Fukuoka prefecture. They showed anorexia and emaciation. Fecal examination revealed many fasciola eggs. The highest egg content (EPG) was about 1,300. At autopsy, hyperplasia of the liver and bile duct wall was observed, and many young migrating flukes and adult flukes were recognized in the liver. Histopathologically, fibroplasia, necrosis, abscess, hemorrhage and infiltration of eosinophils were detected in the liver.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
