Fascioliosis is a food-borne zoonotic helminth infection caused by flatworms belonging to the family Fasciolidae, primarily affecting ruminants. The chronic form of fascioliosis is the most prevalent and is characterized by anemia, weight loss, cirrhosis, and liver dysfunction, along with atrophy, jaundice, and bottle jaw. In humans, infection results in fever, nausea, skin rashes, and severe abdominal pain.

Background: Fasciolosis is a prevalent disease that significantly impairs the health and productivity of cattle and causes significant economic damage. Beyond the individually available studies with varying prevalence rates, there are no pooled national prevalence studies on bovine fasciolosis. Therefore, the current study aims to determine the pooled prevalence and economic significance of fasciolosis among cattle in Ethiopia.

The nutria was introduced to Europe from South America and kept for the fur industry. This semiaquatic rodent became a well-established species in the Czech Republic; however, it still poses a significant threat to the native fauna, not only as a natural competitor but also as a vector of non-indigenous parasites. Our research aimed to investigate the diversity of endoparasitic helminths in nutria, with a particular focus on assessing the risk posed by helminth species with zoonotic potential.

Article Synopsis
- * The study compares the diagnostic effectiveness of three techniques: Kato Katz technique (KKT), formalin-ethyl acetate concentration technique (FECT), and Fully Automatic Feces Analyzer (FAFA) for identifying O. viverrini in 455 fecal specimens collected from rural areas.
- * Results show that FECT had the highest detection rate of O. viverrini, followed by FAFA and KKT, with all three methods demonstrating comparable sensitivity, but

Introduction: Coccidiosis is a serious parasitic disease in camels caused by an intestinal protozoan parasite of the genus , which is linked to significant causes of reduced milk and meat production. In Saudi Arabia, scare literature focused on the coprological investigation of dromedary camels (). To determine the taxonomic status of camel parasite species, we performed morphological characterization of oocysts and genetic analysis ( and gene regions) of species collected from camels in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
