Item Studies on Fascioliasis with special Reference To Fasciola Gigantica in East Africa(East African Veterinary Research Organization, 1970) Hamond, A.J.; East African Veterinary Research Organization; The University of EdinburghFollowing a general introduction, the extensive literature on fassioliasis is reviewed, The Field studies are reported on the epidemiology and control of F. ßiganti.ca in East Africa and a survey described of infections with Fasciola spp. in African wild mammals. This survey was undertaken in order to assess the importance of wild mammals in the epidemiology of this disease, in view of the increasing development of game parks and ranching schemes. he techniques used in the experimental studies are outlined with emphasis on those modified during this work. The techniques described include the cultural methods by which the infective agents were obtained, with special reference to the large scale production of metacercariae of F. gigantica and a detailed discussion of the problems which had to be overcome before this was possible. Other techniques described include those used in haematological examinations, faecal egg counts, liver function tests, serum enzyme assays and other biochemical studies.
