Epidemiological studies of fascioliasis (Fasciola gigantica) in black Bengal goats

Amaç: Siyah Bengal keçilerinde farklı yaş, cinsiyet ve mevsimde facioliasisin epidemiyolojisini araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Siyah Bengal keçilerindeki fascioliasisinin epidemiyolojik araştırması Upazilla'nın beş farklı bölgesinin Sylhet bölgesinde farklı iklim koşulları altında gerçekleştirildi. Keçiler genç ve yaşlı olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Temmuz 2012-Haziran 2013 döneminde çiftliklerdeki keçilerden rektal sıvap örnekleri ve mezbahalardan karaciğer örnekleri toplandı. Örnekler direk/sedimentasyon teknikleri ve makroskobik olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Toplamda 1288 rektal sıvap ve 2000 karaciğer örneği incelendi. Bunlardan çiftlik keçilerinin 405 (%31.75) ve kesilen keçilerin 202 (%10.10)'u Fasciola gigantica açısından pozitif bulundu. Genel prevalans %20.93 olarak belirlenirken, çiftlik keçilerindeki prevalans kesilen keçilerden yüksek belirlendi. Genel prevalans yağmurlu mevsimde yüksek ve yaz mevsiminde düşük belirlendi. Gençlerde yüksek prevalans belirlenirken, dişilerde erkeklerden yüksek tespit edildi.Öneri: Bangladeş'te evde beslenen ve kesime sevk edilen siyah Bengal keçilerinde yoğun olarak fascioliasis bulunmaktadır. Siyah Bengal keçilerinde yoğun olarak gözlenen fascioliasisin tedavisi için etkili kontrol ile stratejik antelmentik uygulamasına ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.

Siyah Bengal keçilerinde fascioliasisin (Fasciola gigantica) epidemiyolojik çalışması

Aim: To investigate the epidemiology of fascioliasis in black Bengal goats of different ages, sexes and seasons.Materials and Methods: Epidemiological studies on fascioliasis of black Bengal goats were undertaken in such localities under different climatic conditions existing in Sylhet region of five different Upazilla. Goats were divided into young and adult groups. Rectal fecal samples from household and livers from slaughtered goats were collected randomly and examined by direct/and sedimentation techniques and grossly from July 2012 to June 2013.Results: A total of 1288 rectal fecal samples from household live and 2000 livers from slaughtered goats were examined of which 405 (31.75%) household and 202 (10.10%) slaughtered goats were found positive for Fasciola gigantica. The overall prevalence was 20.93%. It was noticed that prevalence of household was higher than slaughterhouse goat. The overall prevalence of fascioliasis was higher during rainy while lowest during summer season. The highest prevalence was recorded in young's. Moreover, the overall prevalence of fascioliasis in female's goats was more than males.Conclusions: Fascioliasis is highly prevalent in both household and slaughtered black Bengal goats in Bangladesh. Effective control and the strategic use of anthelmintics is need for the treatment of intensive fascioliasis in black Bengal goats.
