Abstract

Bovine fascioliasis in Peru is highly prevalent in almost all regions; however, there are few studies about its prevalence in the region of Amazonas. This research aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with fascioliasis from four livestock basins in the Amazonas region. A total of 941 bovine feces samples were analyzed and a prevalence of 52% was found. The highest prevalence was registered in females (53.9%), crossbred (58.6%), and producers with less than 50 animals (54.40%). The highest risk factor was for Brown Swiss (2.1), crossbreeds (2.4), heifer (4.1), females (1.4), and bovine that drinks water from streams (2.5) and waterhole (2.4). With the principal component analysis, 5 groups were identified, where the first explains that the area of the farm and the number of animals are related to the prevalence of fascioliasis. Group five indicated a relationship between the drinking water source and the breeds with the highest prevalence of fascioliasis. The results show that there are high prevalence and risk factors that affect livestock productivity and welfare. For this reason, there is a need to improve veterinary and animal health support, as well as training in livestock management, providing adequate sources of nutrition, and improving drug administration.

秘鲁东北部牛片形吸虫病的流行及危险因素

秘鲁几乎所有地区都高度流行牛片吸虫病;然而，关于其在亚马逊地区的流行情况的研究很少。本研究旨在确定亚马逊地区4个畜牧业盆地的片形吸虫病患病率及其相关危险因素。共分析941份牛粪便样本，发现感染率为52%。发病率最高的是雌性(53.9%)、杂交(58.6%)和少于50头的养殖户(54.40%)。危险系数最高的是瑞士棕色牛(2.1)、杂交牛(2.4)、小母牛(4.1)、母牛(1.4)和饮用溪流水的牛(2.5)和水坑水的牛(2.4)。通过主成分分析，确定了5个组，其中第一个组解释了农场面积和动物数量与片形吸虫病的流行有关。第五组表明饮用水源与片吸虫病患病率最高的品种之间存在相关性。结果表明，该地区存在高患病率和影响畜禽生产力和福利的危险因素。因此，有必要改善兽医和动物健康支助，以及牲畜管理方面的培训，提供充足的营养来源，并改进药物管理。

期刊介绍： American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, a quarterly, peer reviewed publication and is dedicated for publication of research articles in the field of biology of animals and with the scientific understanding of how animals work: from the physiology and biochemistry of tissues and major organ systems down to the structure and function of bio molecules and cells; particular emphasis would given to the studies of growth, reproduction, nutrition and lactation of farm and companion animals and how these processes may be optimized to improve animal re- productivity, health and welfare. Articles in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects and the environment also are encouraged. AJAVS is an important source of researcher to study articles on protection of animal production practices, herd health and monitoring the spread of disease and prevention in both domestic and wild animals.
