Fascioliasis is a zoonotic infection causing significant economic losses in livestock, with prevalence and financial impact varying by location and diagnostic methods.
A pilot study in the Anta province of Peru found that 62.5% of 2009 cattle were infected, with higher rates observed after the rainy season.
Bile microscopy was more effective than liver condemnation in diagnosing infections, and both methods are suggested to be used together for better evaluation of fascioliasis in livestock, indicating a need for larger studies to confirm these findings.
