AN ABATTOIR STUDY OF BOVINE VISCERAL SCHISTOSOMOSIS IN TELANGANA STATE, INDIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 58
Abstract
The present study was conducted to know the prevalence of visceral schistosomosis in cattle and buffaloes slaughtered in Chengicherala slaughter house, Hyderabad. Out of 105 mesenteries collected from slaughter house, 33 were positive for Schistosomes indicating an overall prevalence of 31.42 per cent. A perfusion technique was employed to harvest the schistosomes from mesenteric blood vessels. Out of 21 mesenteries of cattle and 84 mesenteries of buffaloes examined, 6 (21) and 27 (84) were positive showing 28.57 and 32.14 percent infection respectively. Out of 6 positive mesenteries of cattle, only one was having mixed infection for both intestinal schistosomes (Schistosoma spindale and Schistosomaindicum). Both the schistosome species were separated based on morphology of adult cuticle and shape of eggs in females. The study emphasizes the need for developing alternative diagnostic tests for visceral schistosomosis.
