“…On the other hand, MF is the most accurate of the three techniques to estimate the intensity of infection, which aligns with previous work on GIN in ruminants and horses [ 28 , 35 , 43 ]. FF and SED however can over- and under- estimate intensity of infection more, with these results consistent across the whole infection intensity range evaluated (from 1 to 100 EPG).…”

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 10–15 years. In Italy, evidence suggests that the prevalence of F. hepatica in ruminants is low in the southern part, but C. daubneyi has been recently reported at high prevalence in the same area. Given the importance of reliable tools for liver and rumen fluke diagnosis in ruminants, this study evaluated the diagnostic performance of the Mini-FLOTAC (MF), Flukefinder(R) (FF) and sedimentation (SED) techniques to detect and quantify F. hepatica and C. daubneyi eggs using spiked and naturally infected cattle faecal samples. Methods Briefly, negative bovine faecal samples were artificially spiked with either F. hepatica or C. daubneyi eggs to achieve different egg count levels: 10, 50 and 100 eggs per gram (EPG) of faeces. Moreover, ten naturally infected cattle farms from southern Italy with either F. hepatica and/or C. daubneyi were selected. For each farm, the samples were analysed individually only with MF technique and as pools using MF, FF and SED techniques. Bayesian latent class analysis (LCA) was used to estimate sensitivity and accuracy of the predicted intensity of infection as well as the infection rate in the naturally infected farms. Results The outcome of this study showed that the highest number of eggs (F. hepatica and C. daubneyi) recovered was obtained with MF, followed by FF and SED in spiked infected samples at 50 and 100 EPG, while at lower infection levels of 10 EPG, FF gave the best results. Moreover, the sensitivity for all the techniques included in the study was estimated at > 90% at infection levels > 20 EPG for both F. hepatica and C. daubneyi eggs. However, MF was the most accurate of the three techniques evaluated to estimate fluke infection intensity. Nevertheless, all three techniques can potentially estimate infection rate at farm level accurately. Conclusions Optimization and standardization of techniques are needed to improve the FEC of fluke eggs. Graphical Abstract

“…Computer-based algorithms to identify parasites in microscopy-based faecal examinations have recently been developed and demonstrate a similar qualitative performance to the parasitologists' eye with conventional faecal flotation techniques [ 67 , 68 ]. Smartphone apps and electronic maps with data on parasite distribution are used not only by research groups but also by end users [ 69 , 70 ].…”
