Livestock is an important component of agriculture sector of
Pakistan and contributing significantly in its national economy.
However, gastrointestinal trematodes parasite especially
Paramphistomum cervi is accountable for health hazards in buffalo
of central Punjab. In this study prevalence and identification of
Paramphistomum cervi was carried out by visiting local abattoirs of
Rawalpindi-Islamabad. A total of 289 rumens and reticulum of
buffaloes was examined for the presence of Paramphistomum cervi.
The trematodes were preserved in 70% alcohol for identification
based on its morphological characteristics. The results of present
study revealed that out of 17.3 percent Paramphistomum cervi
infection was recorded in central Punjab. The correlation between
worm burden and area was found to be non-significant (p > 0.05)
indicating the presence of trematode in all districts of study
area.There are several factors contributing in the survival and
development of P. cervi in central Punjab including the
availability of fresh water snails serving as intermediate host,
existence of extensive water channel system and poor grazing
management of animals being practices in these areas.
