Abstract

Fasciolosis is a worldwide parasitic disease common  in  ruminants,  especially  cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats and swine.

It may, however, affect humans if they consume contaminated vegetables or raw and improperly cooked liver from an animal infected with Fasciola gigantica.

To determine the prevalence of Fasciola gigantica eggs  in  sheep  and goats and on salad vegetables, four hundred (400) faecal and 180  salad vegetable samples were collected between July and September 2013 within Zaria and environs.

Nigeria and examined using the formal ether sedimentation technique and Sodium Chloride flotation methods.

The overall prevalence of F. gigantica eggs in ruminants was 13.0%, with sheep having a higher prevalence (17.0%) than goats (9.0%)

Introduction

Fasciolosis also known as fascioliasis, fasciolasis, distomatosis and liver rot, is an important helminth disease caused by two trematodes Fasciola hepatica (the common liver fluke) and Fasciola gigantica (giant liver fluke).

This disease belongs to the snail-borne trematode zoonoses. In Europe, the Americas and Oceania only F. hepatica is a concern, but the distributions of both species overlap in many countries of Africa and Asia (Mas-Coma et al., 2005).

The definitive host range is very broad and includes many herbivorous mammals and humans. The life cycle includes freshwater snails from family Lymnaeidae, as an intermediate host of the parasite (Torgerson and Claxton, 1999).

Adult flukes of both species are localized in the bile ducts of the liver or gallbladder. Fasciola hepatica has a cosmopolitan distribution.

Fasciola gigantica is limited to the tropics and has been recorded in Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and South and Eastern Asia (Torgerson and Claxton, 1999).
