Aim: This study aimed to measure the occurrence of trematodiasis in cattle along the Progo River, a district of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The findings help to establish the magnitude of the disease and encourage prevention and treatment of this condition. Materials and Methods: Trematode eggs were extracted from 100 fecal samples collected from cattle. The eggs were examined using the sedimentation technique, and the method of Parfitt and Banks was used to differentiate Paramphistomum spp. eggs from Fasciola spp. eggs. Results: The infection rate of trematode parasites was 50%. Cattle experienced multiple infections of both Paramphistomum spp. and Fasciola spp., as well as single infections of one species or the other. All breeds were vulnerable to infections of both trematode species, although different cattle breeds, including Peranakan Ongole crossbreeds, Simmental crossbreeds, and Limousin crossbreeds, showed differences in infection rate. The highest rate of infection with Paramphistomum spp. (15.78%) occurred in the Simmental crossbreeds. The highest rate of infection (31.57%) with Fasciola spp. was in the Peranakan Ongole crossbreeds. Multiple infections of both Paramphistomum spp. and Fasciola spp. were highest in Simmental crossbreed cattle (28.97%). Conclusion: The high infection rates of trematode parasites found in fecal samples, particularly of Fasciola spp., indicate that the cattle along the Progo River in Indonesia experience a high rate of trematodiasis disease.

“…As buffaloes inhabit wetter areas the prevalence of fascioliasis is expected to be higher than other ruminant species [50–52]. Previous published reports from Bangladesh have also reported similarly higher prevalence in cattle and buffalo than goats and sheep [14, 22, 28, 33]. However, the mortality was relatively higher in goats (33 per 10,000) than other species (8–25 per 10,000).…”

Fascioliasis risk factors and space-time clusters in domestic ruminants in Bangladesh

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundA retrospective observational study was conducted to identify fascioliasis hotspots, clusters, potential risk factors and to map fascioliasis risk in domestic ruminants in Bangladesh. Cases of fascioliasis in cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats from all districts in Bangladesh between 2011 and 2013 were identified via secondary surveillance data from the Department of Livestock Services’ Epidemiology Unit. From each case report, date of report, species affected and district data were extracted. The total number of domestic ruminants in each district was used to calculate fascioliasis cases per ten thousand animals at risk per district, and this was used for cluster and hotspot analysis. Clustering was assessed with Moran’s spatial autocorrelation statistic, hotspots with the local indicator of spatial association (LISA) statistic and space-time clusters with the scan statistic (Poisson model). The association between district fascioliasis prevalence and climate (temperature, precipitation), elevation, land cover and water bodies was investigated using a spatial regression model.ResultsA total of 1,723,971 cases of fascioliasis were reported in the three-year study period in cattle (1,164,560), goats (424,314), buffalo (88,924) and sheep (46,173). A total of nine hotspots were identified; one of these persisted in each of the three years. Only two local clusters were found. Five space-time clusters located within 22 districts were also identified. Annual risk maps of fascioliasis cases correlated with the hotspots and clusters detected. Cultivated and managed (P < 0.001) and artificial surface (P = 0.04) land cover areas, and elevation (P = 0.003) were positively and negatively associated with fascioliasis in Bangladesh, respectively.ConclusionsResults indicate that due to land use characteristics some areas of Bangladesh are at greater risk of fascioliasis. The potential risk factors, hot spots and clusters identified in this study can be used to guide science-based treatment and control decisions for fascioliasis in Bangladesh and in other similar geo-climatic zones throughout the world.

ABSTRAK Sapi dan kerbau memiliki nilai ekonomi sebagai sumber protein hewani dan hewan pekerja. Masyarakat Sulawesi juga menggunakan kerbau dalam berbagai kegiatan adat dan keagamaan. Infeksi oleh parasit Trematoda dapat mengganggu potensi ternak tersebut berupa gangguan produktivitas. Di Indonesia, Schistosomiasis bersifat endemik dan hanya dapat ditemukan di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia (Lembah Lindu, Napu, dan Bada). Belum ada data mengenai status infeksi Trematoda pada hewan sapi dan kerbau di daerah tersebut. Studi ini dilakukan menggunakan desain potong-lintang untuk mengukur prevalensi Trematodosis pada sapi dan kerbau di sekitar wilayah endemik Schistosomiasis pada JuliNovember 2016. Sebanyak 261 contoh tinja yang terdiri atas 173 ekor sapi dan 88 ekor kerbau dari 7 desa (Desa Anca, Bewa, Gunung Gintu, Sedoa, Wangga, Watumaeta, dan Wuasa) dikoleksi dan disimpan pada suhu 28 C hingga analisis selanjutnya. Metode Danish Bilharziasis Laboratory dipilih untuk menghitung secara kuantitatif infeksi oleh Trematoda. Prevalensi Trematodosis secara keseluruhan studi ini adalah 85,06%. Prevalensi Trematodosis pada kerbau lebih tinggi dibandingkan pada sapi dan berbeda secara statistik (P<0,05). Prevalensi tertinggi adalah Paramphistomiasis (75,48%), yang diikuti oleh Fascioliasis (67,05%) dan Schistosomiasis japonica (30,27%). Prevalensi Trematodosis masing-masing desa juga bervariasi dan berbeda secara statistik (P<0,05). Intensitas infeksi berupa infeksi ringan, sedang, dan berat dilaporkan pada penelitian ini. Infeksi campuran oleh dua bahkan tiga spesies Trematoda dilaporkan pada penelitian ini. Dua desa endemik Schistosomiasis baru dilaporkan, yakni Desa Bewa dan Gunung Gintu. Hasil penelitian ini digunakan sebagai dasar pengendalian Trematodosis pada ruminansia besar di wilayah endemik terutama yang berpotensi zoonosis.
