Investigations were carried out through the agar gel immunodiffusion test of complete somatic antigens of Paramphistomum sp. and Fasciola hepatica, using the respective homologic and heterologic hyperimmune rabbit sera. Differences were established in the spectrum and number of the produced precipitation lines - 6 to Paramphistomum and 4 to Fasciola. With the identity test by the scheme in three after Zilber and Abelev (1962) no precipitation arcs were formed against the heterologic hyperimmune rabbit sera. This pointed the fact that there was no antigenic relation between the helminth species studies.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the parasitological conditions of wild ruminants in Vojvodina over four years, focusing on fecal samples from 289 deer (158 red deer and 131 roe deer).
- Researchers identified various parasites, including protozoa, nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes, verifying both single and mixed infections through coprological diagnostic methods.
- The high prevalence rates (89.77% and 92.85% in red and roe deer, respectively, in one hunting ground) highlight the need for health protection programs and control strategies for managing parasitic infections in wild ruminants, which is crucial for hunting sustainability and public health.

Background And Aim: The potential of plants as anthelmintics is very large, but there is still very little research conducted in the search for effective, safe, easily obtained, and affordable anthelmintic candidates. Palem putri () is an ornamental plant that is interesting to study because it is included in the areca nut group which is reported to have strong abilities as anthelmintics. The study aims to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of against trematode worms such as spp.

The occurrence of trematodes among ruminants and their snail vectors is a major concern across various agro-ecological regions of Ethiopia. Trematodes pose significant threats to animals, causing considerable economic losses and impacting public health. In this study, we have investigated 784 ruminant fecal samples, and 520 abattoir samples, alongside the collection and identification of snail vectors from various agro-ecological regions.

Article Synopsis
- * Results indicate a 42.3% overall infection rate, with higher rates found in non-primate mammals (50.0%) compared to birds (26.3%) and primates (31.6%).
- * A total of 11 parasite species were identified, highlighting potential zoonotic risks, emphasizing the necessity for improved parasite management to ensure the welfare of both animals and human visitors in the zoo.
