“…Gastrointestinal parasitic diseases are the major cause of economic losses in domestic animals worldwide (Corwin, 1997;McLeod, 1995;Grisi et al, 2014;Bandyopadhyay et al, 2010). Decreased inappentence lead to problems of feed and water intake, whilst protein losses due to gastrointestinal damage diminishes availabilities for growth.…”

Most of the animals presented monoinfections (79.33%), but concomitant infections were also observed (2 different parasites: 17.67%; 3 different parasites: 2.33%; more than 3 different parasites: 0.67%). With this work we proved the high level of parasitism in cattle of Central Java and we intensively highlight the need to find adequate control measures against parasitic diseases in order to reduce the detrimental impact of parasitosis in cattle.

“…The worms were individually identified, on the basis of copulatory bursa and spicules, by light microscopy [5] and the keys provided by Whitlock (1960) [22]. The DNA was extracted, as described by Sambrook and Russell (2001) [23], with minor modifications.…”

“…Occurrence of M. digitatus was recorded as early as the 1920s, from the abomasum of cattle in India [3], [4]. Various studies have confirmed the presence of M. digitatus infection in cattle and buffaloes in different parts of India [5], [6], [7], [8]. M. digitatus may be found in mixed infection in ruminants along with other GINs such as Ostertagia ostertagi , Trichostrongylus spp.…”

Development and Validation of Real-Time PCR for Rapid Detection of Mecistocirrus digitatus

Hematophagous activity of Mecistocirrus digitatus, which causes substantial blood and weight loss in large ruminants, is an emerging challenge due to the economic loss it brings to the livestock industry. Infected animals are treated with anthelmintic drugs, based on the identification of helminth species and the severity of infection; however, traditional methods such as microscopic identification and the counting of eggs for diagnosis and determination of level of infection are laborious, cumbersome and unreliable. To facilitate the detection of this parasite, a SYBR green-based real-time PCR was standardized and validated for the detection of M. digitatus infection in cattle and buffaloes. Oligonucleotides were designed to amplify partial Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS)-1 sequence of M. digitatus. The specificity of the primers was confirmed by non-amplification of DNA extracted from other commonly occurring gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants. Plasmids were ligated with partial ITS-1 sequence of M. digitatus, serially diluted (hundred fold) and used as standards in the real-time PCR assay. The quantification cycle (Cq) values were plotted against the standard DNA concentration to produce a standard curve. The assay was sensitive enough to detect one plasmid containing the M. digitatus DNA. Clinical application of this assay was validated by testing the DNA extracted from the faeces of naturally infected cattle (n = 40) and buffaloes (n = 25). The results were compared with our standard curve to calculate the quantity of M. digitatus in each faecal sample. The Cq value of the assay depicted a strong linear relationship with faecal DNA content, with a regression coefficient of 0.984 and efficiency of 99%. This assay has noteworthy advantages over the conventional methods of diagnosis because it is more specific, sensitive and reliable.

“…The adult paramphistomes are the major parasites of rumen and reticulum of ruminants, which cause localized loss of rumen papillae, responsible for ruminitis, irregular rumination, unthriftness, lower feed conversion and loss of body condition. Various reports on paramphistomosis from different states representing different geographical locations of the country are available (Samanta and Santra, 2009;Bandyopadhyay 2010;Kumari et al, 2010;Swarnkar et al, 2010;Yadav et al, 2010;Khajuria et al, 2011;Rahman et al, 2012;Maitra et al, 2014). A study on prevalence limited only to cattle amphistomosis has also been conducted from Andhra Pradesh by Kumari and Hafeez, (2005).…”

A total of 1169 dung samples from domestic ruminants were examined to record the prevalence of paramphistomosis infection. In cattle, the prevalence of infection by direct smear (DS) and sedimentation method (SD) was 17.43% and 31.19%, respectively. In sheep, the prevalence rates were recorded higher than cattle (26.09% and 33.18%). In goats, the prevalence of paramphistomosis was 20.66% and 30.52%. Out of 109 cattle carcasses, 47 were found with flukes in rumen, reticulum and bile duct during slaughterhouse examination (SH). In sheep and goat, the prevalence rates were 42.15% and 40.85%, respectively by SH. Age-wise the highest prevalence was recorded in cattle of 2-4 years (50.0%) by SH. In goats, the prevalence of infection was lower in the age group oflessthan1 year, when compared to their counterparts in sheep. In contrast, the higher prevalence was noticed in >1-2 years old goats (63.27%) than sheep of the same age group (36.85%). Sex-wise, statistically no significant difference was observed between male and female animals. Morphologically identified, Cotylophoron cotylophorum, Paramphistomum cervi, Gastrothylax crumenifer, Fischoederius elongatus and Gigantocotyle spp. In conclusion, an overall prevalence of 24.29%, 32.51% and 42.0% of paramphistomosis infection was recorded in cattle, sheep and goats by DS, SD and SH examinations, respectively.
