Faecal examination of 342 cattle from 99 farms and liver inspection of 167 cattle from the province of Florence were carried out. 853 animals from other italian provinces were examined for fascioliasis at the same slaughterhouse. Anamnestic data were traced back to get information about the exposure of animals to several risk factors. Fascioliasis was present in about 20% of farms and in about 10& of the coprologically examined animals. Lesions were found in 6% of inspected livers. Grazing practice resulted to represent a significant risk factor of fasciliasis (RR=3.8)

Abstract
Faecal examination of 342 cattle from 99 farms and liver inspection of 167 cattle from the province of Florence were carried out. 853 animals from other italian provinces were examined for fascioliasis at the same slaughterhouse. Anamnestic data were traced back to get information about the exposure of animals to several risk factors. Fascioliasis was present in about 20% of farms and in about 10& of the coprologically examined animals. Lesions were found in 6% of inspected livers. Grazing practice resulted to represent a significant risk factor of fasciliasis (RR=3.8)File in questo prodotto:
