Almost 300 species of helminthes parasitize livestock, including
Paramphistomes (stomach flukes). Paramphistomes are the
aetiological agents of the disease -Paramphistomiasis.
Paramphistomiasis rank high in significance of helminthic diseases
of sheep and cattle. The higher incidence of Paramphistome
infections in domestic animals causes death of young ones, lowers
productivity and thus leads to heavy economic losses. In order to
develop various control measures to these helminthes we should have
a clear understanding of host parasite relationship and a thorough
understanding of the host parasite relationship can not be realized
until a careful study is made on the biochemical nature of the
parasite and its host. Histochemical study helps us to investigate
qualitatively the biochemical pattern of different tissues. Such
studies will increase our knowledge of worm physiology, which could
further lead to deeper understanding of the well recognized host
parasite interactions and such information would be valuable in
designing control measures that are efficient and economical. This
book presents the detailed histochemistry of two species of
Paramphistomes of sheep and cattle.
This study provided strong evidence to suggest that intestinal
helminthiasis is a highly endemic and a serious public health
concern, especialy among the children. The main aim of helminth
control programs is to reduce and sustain the intensity of
infection below that of associated morbidity. It is wisely said
that" prevention is better than cure," so steps should be taken to
prevent the infection of gastrointestinal helminths rather than
curing after infection.
