Epizootiology, pathogenesis and immunoprophylactic trends to control tropical bubaline fasciolosis: an overview

Abstract: On the Indian sub-continent, nearly 5,000 years ago, the domestication of the riverine buffalo-the incredible Asian dairy animal was initiated. It plays a versatile role in socio-economic upliftment of its owners from the rural agricultural communities in Asian, African, South American and a few European countries. Comparatively, buffaloes are lesser evolved and susceptible to infectious diseases than cattle. However, poor body thermoregulation and wallowing nature predisposed them to snail borne infections, e… Show more

“…Possible explanations (1) infected animals are in the early stages of infection which was initiated with few number of parasites, and (2) the animal is in the chronic phase of infection but the number of liver fluke colonizing the liver tissue are few in number. This comes in agreement with previous studies (Braun et al, 1995;Sharma et al, 2011). Animals with moderate egg load and clinical manifestation showed involvement of hepatic parenchyma.…”

“…Occurrence of fascioliasis is strongly linked to the freshwater mollusk of the genus Lymnaea spp., which acts as an intermediate host of the liver fluke (de Kock et al, 2003;Sharma et al, 2011). In Egypt, the agricultural activities depend exclusively on the water of the Nile River, which is running across the middle of Egypt starting from the south at the Nasser Lake to the north at the Mediterranean Sea.…”

“…However, high sensitivity to solar radiation, poor body thermoregulation and wallowing nature predisposes buffaloes to snail borne infections. Fasciolosis have been a major economic threat to ruminants especially buffaloes in tropical and sub-tropical countries like India [3]. Acute form of fasciolosis is caused by presence of immature migrating flukes in liver and cases due to this are rarely reported in cattle and buffaloes from India [4].…”
