Prevalence of Major Gastrointestinal Tract Parasite of Cattle at Municipal Abattoir of Jimma Town, Oromia, South Western Ethiopia

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence of major gastrointestinal tract (GIT) parasite of cattle's and associated major risk factor at Jimma municipal abattoir. Method A cross-sectional study with a simple random sampling method was conducted from November, 2018 to April, 2019. Result Based on the carpological examination, from 400 animals that were presented for slaughter at Jimma municipal abattoir, 46.8% (187) of animals have at least one GIT parasite. The study detected five genera of GI… Show more

“…In addition, the existence of mixed infection such as Strongyle+Fasciola, Strongyle+Paramphistomum, Fasciola+Paramphistomum, Strongyle+Fasciola+Paramphistomum, Strongyle+Toxocara, Strongyle+Trichuris and Strongyle+Moniezia was inline with the earlier reports. 7 , 15 , 51 The presence of two or more GIT parasites indicated a mixed infection. A significant contributor to morbidity and decreased productivity in cattle has been identified as the mixed infection phenomenon.…”

“…4 Even while nematode parasites are rather common in ruminants all over the world, trematodes, cestodes, and coccidian parasites have also shown higher prevalence rates in the most of those specific jurisdictions. 6 , 7 The most important GIT parasites in cattle include Strongyle, Toxocara, Trichuris, Fasciola, Paramphistomum, Monezia, and Eimeria . 4 , 8 These parasites hurt an animal’s health and result in significant financial losses for the cattle sector in sub-Saharan Africa, and indeed worldwide.…”

“…According to scientific studies, Trichuris infections are common, and some species are also pathogens of dangerous zooanthroponotic diseases of animals and humans (Bawm & Htun, 2015;Boyko & Brygadyrenko, 2016, 2019. Trichuris globulosa is recorded in ruminants in many countries of the world, where the incidence can be 14.5% (De Jong et al, 2014;Odeniran et al, 2016;Susana et al, 2019).…”

“…Gastrointestinal nematodes cause common and very important from an economic point of view diseases of both domestic and wild animals around the world (Little, 2011;van der Voort et al, 2013;Ananta et al, 2014;Marskole et al, 2016;Susana et al, 2019). Among them, the most significant are zoonotic helminthiases which affect humans by the same stages of the pathogen that live in the animal bodies (Bawm & Htun, 2015;Boyko & Brygadyrenko, 2017, 2019, 2020. Such dangerous parasites include nematodes of the genus Trichuris Röderer, 1761, hematophagous helminths which have a significant distribution and species diversity (Ghai et al, 2014;Susana et al, 2019).…”
