Abstract

Abstract A cross-sectional study aimed at estimating the prevalence and assessing the potential risk factors of bovine fasciolosis was carried out from November, 2011 to April, 2012 in Abeshege district of Gurage Zone.  A total of 288 faecal samples were collected directly from the rectum of cattle and examination using sedimentation technique was performed. Overall 142 (49.3%) cattle were found positive for faecal fluke egg detections. No significant variation was observed with feeding system, body condition, breed, sex, age, peasant association (PA) and herd size considered as potential risk factors (P>0.05). However, water source was the only factor found to be significantly associated (P<0.05) with occurrence of infections where cattle drinking water form rivers had 54.55% higher than those cattle getting water from other sources. The present study suggests that Fasciola infections in cattle is high and represent one of the constraints to livestock development in the study area. Hence, good management practice including provision of properly dried hay for those zero grazing cattle, an alternative use of lands of pasture, fluke elimination by regular treatment, and further detailed study could provide valuable information that foster local planning and implementation of a more sustainable fasciolosis control strategy for the district.
埃塞俄比亚南部Abeshege区古拉格区牛片形虫病的流行及潜在危险因素
摘要对2011年11月至2012年4月在古拉格区阿贝舍热区牛片形吸虫病流行情况及潜在危险因素进行了横断面研究。直接采集牛直肠粪便288份,采用沉降法进行检测。共有142头牛(49.3%)的粪吸虫卵检测呈阳性。饲喂制度、体况、品种、性别、年龄、农协、畜群规模为潜在危险因素,无显著差异(P>0.05)。水源是唯一与感染发生显著相关的因素(P<0.05),饮用河流水源的牛比饮用其他水源的牛感染率高54.55%。本研究表明,牛片形吸虫感染率高,是研究区畜牧业发展的制约因素之一。因此,良好的管理实践,包括为那些没有放牧的牛提供适当干燥的干草,替代牧场土地的使用,通过定期治疗消除吸虫,以及进一步的详细研究,可以提供有价值的信息,促进当地规划和实施更可持续的片形虫病控制战略。
