The data were compared with those obtained from other studies in Spain, France (where rats were also investigated), Germany and the Netherlands. One way analysis of variance and discriminant analysis were used to assess differences between host origins. The distribution of length and width of eggs were analysed using skewness and kurtosis Fisher coefficients. The eggs recovered from sheep, cattle, rodents and lagomorphs were different in size: the eggs found in rodents (length L \u00d7 width W in \u03bcm: 8592) and lagomorphs (L \u00d7 W in \u03bcm: 9100) were smaller than those found in sheep and cattle (L\u00d7W in \u03bcm: 10,000). These morphological differences in<jats:italic>F. hepatica<\/jats:italic>eggs were host-induced in rats (L\u00d7W in \u03bcm: 9709 in cattle to 8949 in rats) and rabbits (L\u00d7W in \u03bcm: 9709 in cattle to 8432 in rabbits). These differences in size of eggs might correspond to their being less able to develop into miracidia in less frequent hosts such as rodents and rabbits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x00016667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T14:54:18Z","timestamp":1244213658000},"page":"313-317","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Morphological variability in<i>Fasciola hepatica<\/i>eggs in ruminants, rodents and lagomorphs"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Abrous","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.M.","family":"Comes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Gasnier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Rondelaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Dreyfuss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Chauvin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"M\u00e9nard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Agoulon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Cabaret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X00016667_ref018","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1051\/parasite\/1995023275"},{"key":"S0022149X00016667_ref013","first-page":"57","article-title":"Cons\u00e9quences des ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes li\u00e9s \u00e0 l'insularit\u00e9 dans les maladies parasitaires.
