“…The disease prevalence was found to be more in females 42.5% than in males 15.3% in the present study. This is in accordance with the findings of Karshima et al, (2016) in same study area and Aliyu et al (2014) in Zaria. The difference in infection rate between two sexes was statistically significant.…”

“…In the present study, an overall prevalence of 27.4% was recorded which indicate the presence of the snail intermediate host of the parasite in the area. This is in accordance with the findings of Karshima et al, (2016) who revealed a prevalence of 29.8% among cattle slaughtered in Bauchi and Magaji et al, (2014) who reported 27.68% on cattle slaughtered in Sokoto but slightly low when compare the with the finding of Abraham and Jude (2014) in Calabar that reported a prevalence of 36% in goat slaughtered and Aliyu et al, 2020 that reported 31.4% prevalence of Fasciola gigantica on goat slaughtered at Lafia, Nasarawa State. This is possible because of the nature of the environment of the animals which may be swampy or the animal were been watering in an open water bodies as well as lack of routine de-worming.…”

“…Presence of rivers Jama'are and many other small water bodies in the two local governments more than katagum local government may also be attributed to this as observed by Usman (2019). High prevalence of fasciolosis was observed among animals with poor body condition which is not unexpected because of the poor grazing wet pasture which usually increase the risk of fasciolosis and other diseases as Karshima et al, (2016).…”

Fasciolosis is a snail-borne disease of medical and economic importance which is distributed worldwide. In this study, we aim at determining the prevalence of fascioliasis in slaughtered goats in Bauchi North Senatorial Zone Abattoirs Bauchi State, Nigeria. Two hundred and seventy (270) faeces samples were collected randomly from slaughtered goats in the selected abattoirs for a period of three months (March -May, 2020). The samples collected were examined using formal ether concentration technique and the data were analyses statistically using chi-square and simple percentage. Out of the samples collected and examined, 120 were females and 150 males. The overall prevalence of 74(29.6%) was observed with the female species had the highest prevalence of 51(42.5%) and male with 23(15.3%). The prevalence rates between the different sexes of goat with fascioliasis in the area were statistically significant (𝑃 > 0.05). Open grazing of animals in swampy areas where snails are presence and watering of animal using streams, lack of regular de-worming are all influencing the prevalence rate of the parasite in study area. Public enlightenment to the farmers/rarer on the importance of regular de-worming and watering of their animals using clean water for their economic benefit and health conditions of their animals and consumers are recommended with the aim of maximizing the welfare of the farmer, improvement on profit of meat sellers as well as health condition of the consumers.

“…Low taeniid prevalence of 0.25% among domestic dogs in Europe (Dyachenko et al, 2008); 5.6% among stray dogs in Iran (Kohansal et al, 2017) and 8.0% among sheep dogs in England (Phythian et al, 2018) have been reported. However, higher prevalence of 11.07 % among stray dogs in Iran (Mirbadie et al, 2018); 14.9 % among dogs from farming communities in Uganda (Oba et al, 2016); 34.4% among farm dogs in China (Guo et al, 2014); 56.7 % among trade dogs in Plateau State, Nigeria (Karshima et al,2017); and 73.2% among village dogs with presence of slaughter slabs in Tanzania (Swai et al, 2016) have also been reported. The low prevalence of taeniid infection obtained in this study may be because the dogs were owned and mostly as pets or for security.…”

Human association with taeniid infected dogs could pose risk of infection. Few studies exist on prevalence of taeniid infections in dogs in Nigeria, however, none have attempted to determine extrinsic factors associated with the prevalence among owned dogs. This study, therefore, aimed at determining taeniid infection and its associated intrinsic and extrinsic factors among owned dogs in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. A cross sectional study involving the screening of 185 dog faecal samples using the floatation method was done. Questionnaire was used to obtain data on intrinsic factors such as age, gender, breed; and extrinsic factors such as management and hygienic practices and environmental factors from participating dog owners. Data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact test at α0.05. The mean age of the respondents was 35.7 ± 11.3 years, while the median age of the dogs was 20 months (Interquartile range 10.5 – 40). The prevalence of taeniid infection was 4.87%. Extrinsic factors such as the water source – tap water (Odds Ratio (OR): 5.5; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.01, 36.8) and the feed types – dry foods (OR: 11.4; 95% CI: 1.1, 159.3) were significantly associated with taeniid infection. None of the intrinsic factors was significantly associated with taeniid infection. Taeniid infection is low among owned dogs in the study area. Source of water and the food type to dogs could be possible source of taeniid infection to dogs. Proper dog deworming and provision of clean water source could help reduce taeniid infection in dogs.
