Summary

Subacute fascioliasis caused by Fasciola hepatica led to a 62% mortality rate in a moufflon herd. Optimal weather conditions likely contributed to high parasite transmission and severe disease.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Parasitology
  • Epizootiology

Context:

  • A moufflon herd (Ovis ammon musimon) experienced high mortality (62%) between January and April 1988.
  • The animals were housed in a meadow environment within the Leipziger Auenwald.
  • The investigation focused on 13 deceased animals from a herd of 21.

Purpose:

  • To diagnose subacute fascioliasis in moufflons.
  • To describe pathomorphological and parasitological findings associated with Fasciola hepatica infection.
  • To discuss the diagnosis, pathogenicity, and contributing environmental factors.

Summary:

  • Pathomorphological and parasitological examinations revealed severe Fasciola hepatica infection as the primary cause of death.
  • Key findings included hepatitis traumatica fasciolosa, perihepatitis, chronic interstitial hepatitis (pseudocirrhosis), cholangitis, wasting, cardiac, and pulmonary lesions.
  • Meteorological data indicated optimal conditions for Fasciola hepatica and its intermediate host, Galba truncatula, facilitating high infection rates.

Impact:

  • This study highlights the significant impact of Fasciola hepatica on moufflon populations.
  • Understanding the role of environmental factors in parasite transmission is crucial for disease management.
  • The findings provide insights into the diagnosis and pathogenicity of subacute fascioliasis in wild ruminants.
