Article Synopsis
- Rumen fluke (Calicophoron daubneyi) is emerging as a significant livestock parasite in Europe, particularly in relation to its intermediate host, the snail Galba truncatula.
- A study on 10 Welsh farms found that the prevalence of C. daubneyi in G. truncatula was 4%, which is lower than that of another parasite, F. hepatica, at 5.6%, with no correlation in their prevalence rates.
- The research indicates that C. daubneyi may be less effective at infecting G. truncatula populations in the UK compared to F. hepatica, as shown by lower rates of cercarial stages in infected snails.
