Abstract
Aim:
This study was undertaken to identify Paramphistomum cervi
on the basis of its morphology and histology to be the common
cause of paramphistomosis in infected sheep and its
differentiation from other similar Paramphistomes in Gujarat.
Materials and Methods: Adult rumen flukes were recovered from
the rumen of naturally infected sheep slaughtered in various
abattoirs in Gujarat. Some adult flukes were flattened and stained
in Borax carmine, and some were sectioned in the median sagittal
plane and histological slides of the flukes were prepared for
detailed morphological and histological studies.
Result:
Microscopic pictures of the parasite used in identification
define the similarity in the morphology and histology of the
anterior sucker, pharynx, esophagus, genital atrium, posterior
sucker (acetabulum) and testes to the P. cervi.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the
most common species found in sheep infected with Paramphistomosis
is P. cervi on the basis of its histo-morphological
appearance in Gujarat.
Keywords: abattoirs, histology, morphology,
paramphistomosis, posterior sucker, rumen fluke, sheep.
