| Sumario: | The Fasciola hepatica is a parasite from the class Trematoda of the order Digenea, which
maintains a wide distribution worldwide. The grass contaminated with feces is the main source of
transmission, with snails acting as an essential part of the biological cycle. The lesions mainly are
presents in the liver and the clinical symptomatology is mainly gastrointestinal secondary to hepatic
affection. The diagnosis can be parasitological from flotation or sedimentation methods,
immunological with tests such as ELISA and necropsy based on anatomopathological findings.
Prevention is based on the control of the intermediate host, leaving in second place the
pharmacological treatment of the animals.
The objective of the present study was to determine the frequency of Fasciola hepatica in
cattle in the municipality of Silvia-Cauca through a coproparasitological examination. 60 fecal
samples were taken during the dry season (June to October 2021) and analyzed using the modified
Dennis test. Frequencies 15% were found. The variables species, sex and age did not constitute
risk factors for distomatosis; however, the infection rate increased as the altitude above sea level
increased (p<0.01), making the area of origin a risk factor for the disease. |
