OCCURRENCE OF TREMATODE ARTYFECHINOSTOMOSIS IN PIG OF LAKHIMPUR DISTRICT OF ASSAM
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Trematode Artyfechinostomosis is a parasitic disease which affects men and pig and having zoonotic importance was evaluated in the pig population in the Lakhimpur district of Assam. Seventy -six numbers of carcasses were examined from various unorganised slaughter houses of Lakhimpur district and foothills of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. 25 percent of prevalence was found to be positive as nineteen numbers were established to be affirmative for Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex. Additional studies were done to define the prevalence of echinostome cercarial fauna in the snail intermediate hosts. The echinostome cercariae were recovered from Indoplanorbis exustus, the snail intermediate host for this parasite. Occurrence of the snail intermediate hosts within this area were determined by accumulating different species of snails from numerous pockets within the study area. Among all the species of snails collected, the prevalence of Indoplanorbis exustus was found to be the highest (25.32%).
