“…The cercariae that come out of the snail's body when eaten by ants will grow into infective metacercariae. When the ants are eaten by the definitive host, the metacercariae will exit the cyst, penetrate the intestinal wall of the definitive host and then go to the liver and bile ducts through the portal system [13].…”

Indonesia is a developing country that has various risk factors that can cause parasitic infections to develop. The role of the life cycle of worms and other parasites has been widely studied before. However, there is still little review of its pathogenesis in Indonesia. The purpose of this article is to examine the role of the parasite life cycle in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Based on this review, it can be concluded that Diphyllobothrium latum, Taenia solium, Echinococus granulosus, Hymenolepis nana, Dypilidium caninum, Schistosoma japonicum, Fasciolopsis buski, Heterophyes, Echinostoma, Clonorchis sinensis, Fasciola hepatica, Dicrocoemani, Paragon dencarisius, trichiura, Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale, Stongyloides stercoralis, Trichinela spiralis, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, and Wuchereria bancrofti have different life cycles. This difference will have an impact on the different pathogenesis for each infection. Enforcement and treatment also differ based on the underlying pathogenesis.Keywords – Life Cycle, Parasite, Patogenesis, Infectious disease

“…The parasite has a slight specificity of the definitive host, with a preference for ruminants, which can be considered as the true host of origin, including mainly sheep and goats, and secondarily large ruminants such as cattle [10]. The number of reports on dicrocoeliasis is increasing in many countries due to the expansion of dry habitats and parasites that have become resistant to antihelminthics [11].…”

Background and Aim: Dicrocoelium dendriticum or small liver fluke often causes unnoticed clinical manifestations in cattle. For a live animal, its diagnosis is mainly based on the detection of eggs by coproscopic examination. The objective of this study was to determine the presence or absence of Dicrocoelium spp. never previously reported in the study area but also to establish its prevalence, as well as an association between dicrocoeliasis and sex, age and season of the year, and histological characteristics. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in slaughterhouses of three districts (Bouira, Tizi-Ouzou, and Bejaia) from January 2017 to December 2017. To this end, of 4053 cattle, representing more than 10% of the total number of animals slaughtered, stool and bile samples were collected and a liver inspection was carried out to investigate lesions of distomial cholangitis. They were processed for histological analysis. The specimens were morphologically identified according to the orientation of the testicles, the length and width of the body, and the level of the maximum width of the body. Results: The total prevalence of dicrocoeliasis obtained of the 4053 cattle inspected is 0.52% with a prevalence of 0.66% in Tizi-Ouzou, 0.54% in Bouira, and 0.27% in Bejaia. About 0.52% of livers had distomial cholangitis (21 of the 4053 livers examined had adult D. dendriticum and 15% had non-distomial cholangitis. About 0.25% of cattle had D. dendriticum eggs in the stool versus 0.52% of cattle had parasite eggs in the bile. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between dicrocoeliasis infection and the season of the year (p>0.05). However, a significant association was found between dicrocoeliasis infection and sex and age of the animal (p<0.05); females and older animals are more likely to have dicrocoeliasis. Histological analysis of the fluke revealed an anterior positioning of the testicles with a slightly oblique tandem orientation, an average body length of 3.69 mm and an average body width of 1 mm. The maximum body width level is either in the middle of the fluke body or in the rear position. Conclusion: The histological study confirms that the collected fluke is D. dendriticum. Thus, this work reveals for the 1st time in Algeria the presence of D. dendriticum in three districts (Bouira, Tizi-Ouzou, and Bejaia). The results indicate that many cattle farms in the North Central Province of Algeria are infested with D. dendriticum.
