Prevalence of amphistomiasis and its association with Fasciola gigantica infections in Zambian cattle from communal grazing areas

To estimate prevalence of amphistomiasis and its association with bovine Fasciola gigantica infections in Zambia, 709 faeces of cattle presented for slaughter from three major cattle rearing areas of Central, Southern and Western provinces were analysed. The prevalence rate of amphistomes was 51.6%....
