Bovine Gastrointestinal Trematodosis In Nigeria: A Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 11
Abstract
In this review, the economic importance of bovine gastrointestinal trematodosis in Nigeria was reviewed, bearing in mind that infections with these parasites affect cattle productivity either directly or indirectly. The epidemiological factors influencing the occurrence of the parasites were reviewed and three species (Dicrocoelium, Fasciola and Paramphistomum) that commonly occur in Nigeria were discussed. The prevalence of infections with these parasites was also reviewed both globally and in Nigeria. Various diagnostic techniques for each of the parasites were discussed as well as control option applicable to the Nigerian situation. Based on existing literatures and data on the epidemiological features of trematode infections in cattle, control and prevention methods are reviewed and modified grazing practices are recommended as this will help reduce host-parasite contact.
