Beyond the individually available studies with varying prevalence rates, there are no pooled national prevalence studies on bovine fasciolosis. Therefore, the current study aims to determine the pooled prevalence and economic significance of fasciolosis among cattle in Ethiopia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>Cochrane's Q<\/jats:italic>, inverse variance (I<\/jats:italic>2<\/jats:sup>), sensitivity analysis, funnel plots, Begg's and Egger's regression tests\u00a0were used to assess heterogeneity and publication bias. A random\u2010effects model was used to calculate the pooled burden of fasciolosis among cattle.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>The pooled prevalence of fasciolosis among cattle was 28.02% (7626\/27,604) with (95% CI: 24.77%\u201331.26%). About 25.58% (3200\/12,639) with (95% CI: 20.89, 30.27) and 30.45% (4426\/14,965) with (95% CI: 26.05, 34.85) were found to harbour Fasciola<\/jats:italic> through coprological inspection and post\u2010mortem examination, respectively. Among a total of 14,965 livers of slaughtered cattle examined in municipal abattoirs, Fasciola hepatica<\/jats:italic> (54.43%) was the predominant fluke identified compared to Fasciola gigantica<\/jats:italic> (23.21%). Mixed infections of both species and unidentified immature flukes were detected in 15.04% and 7.02% of the affected livers, respectively. Regarding the severity of the pathological lesions observed, 35.08%, 49.31% and 15.61% of the livers were mildly, moderately and seriously infested, respectively. The total annual economic significance of fasciolosis among cattle from 21 reported studies was approximately 43,240,653.2 ETB (US$4,069,100.649). Increasing and decreasing trends of pooled fasciolosis prevalence were observed from 2010 to 2023 in coprological examination and post\u2010partum inspection, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>Therefore, bovine fasciolosis requires integrated control methods to address its influence on animal health and economic impact.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/vms3.70186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,30]],"date-time":"2024-12-30T12:32:16Z","timestamp":1735561936000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Prevalence and Economic Significance of Fasciolosis among Cattle Slaughtered at Municipal Abattoirs in Ethiopia from 2010 to 2023: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6155-315X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abayeneh","family":"Girma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology College of Natural and Computational Science Mekdela Amba University Tulu Awuliya Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8219-8214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amere","family":"Genet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology College of Natural and Computational Science Mekdela Amba University Tulu Awuliya Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-4759-2883","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kasaye","family":"Teshome","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology College of Natural and Computational Science Mekdela Amba University Tulu Awuliya Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0023-6676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Indiris","family":"Abdu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology College of Natural and Computational Science Mekdela Amba University Tulu Awuliya Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1852-4422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dessalew","family":"Tamir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Science College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences Debre Tabor University Debre Tabor Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"82","article-title":"Prevalence of Bovine Faciolosis in Halaba Municipal Abattor Southern Ethiopia","volume":"4","author":"Abdella M.","year":"2016","journal-title":"International Journal of Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","first-page":"39","article-title":"Fasciolosis: Prevalence, Financial Losses due to Liver Condemnation and Evaluation of a Simple Sedimentation Diagnostic Technique in Cattle Slaughtered at Hawassa Municipal Abattoir, Southern Ethiopia","volume":"14","author":"Abebe R.","year":"2010","journal-title":"Ethiopian Veterinary Journal"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3923\/javaa.2011.1592.1597"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","first-page":"126","article-title":"Prevalence of Bovine Fasciolosis and Its Economic Significance in Bonga Abattoir, Kafa Zone, Southwestern Ethiopia","volume":"7","author":"Abebe W.","year":"2016","journal-title":"Acta Parasitologica"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","first-page":"381","article-title":"An Abattoir Survey on the Prevalence and Monetary Loss of Fasciolosis in Cattle in Jimma Town Ethiopia","volume":"8","author":"Abie D.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Global Veterinaria"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11250-009-9419-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4314\/evj.v23i1.4"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","first-page":"202","article-title":"Bovine Fasciolosis in Ethiopia\u2014A Review","volume":"2","author":"Alemu B.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of Veterinary and Animal Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","first-page":"84","article-title":"Fasciolosis: Prevalence, Evaluation of Flotation and Simple Sedimentation Diagnostic Techniques and Monetary Loss due to Liver Condemnation in Cattle Slaughtered at Wolaita Soddo Municipal Abattoir, Southern Ethiopia","volume":"43","author":"Alemu A.","year":"2015","journal-title":"Food Science and Quality Management"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","first-page":"124","article-title":"Prevalence of Bovine Fasciolosis;
