The prevalence rate of amphistomes was 51.6%. Egg counts per gram (EPG) of faeces ranged from 0 to 385 with a mean (\u00b1 SEM) of 11.96\u00b11.07. The origin of the cattle had a significant influence (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.001) on the prevalence rate. <jats:italic>Fasciola gigantica<\/jats:italic> infections accounted for 46.7% of the cattle examined. The mean EPG count (\u00b1 SEM) was 6.3\u00b10.66 with a range of 0 to 223. A total of 34.6% were mixed infections while single <jats:italic>Fasciola<\/jats:italic> and amphistome infections represented 12.1% and 17.1%, respectively. Significantly more cattle (63.8%) were infected with either single or both trematode infections (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001) than not. Mixed trematode infections were highest in the Southern province (80.0%) while the lowest were recorded in Central province (16.3%). A positive correlation (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>=0.0428) was present in mixed infections. In order to minimize losses, epidemiology and cross-resistance of amphistomiasis and fascioliasis should be studied in different ecological regions of Zambia to formulate efficient control programmes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1079\/joh2005313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,9]],"date-time":"2006-02-09T21:39:02Z","timestamp":1139521142000},"page":"65-68","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Prevalence of amphistomiasis and its association with <i>Fasciola gigantica<\/i> infections in Zambian cattle from communal grazing areas"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"A.M.","family":"Phiri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I.K.","family":"Phiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Monrad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref025","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022149X00006039"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref019","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-0813.1996.tb07569.x"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref005","first-page":"255","article-title":"Experiments in the diagnosis and treatment of fascioliasis in Uganda cattle","volume":"6","author":"Coyle","year":"1958","journal-title":"Bulletin of Epizootic Diseases in Africa"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref002","first-page":"57","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference of the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology","author":"Ajanusi","year":"2001"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-4017(86)90093-2"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref006","first-page":"151","article-title":"Fasciola hepatica: coproscopic diagnosis compared with the worm burden in the sheep","volume":"21","author":"Duwell","year":"1984","journal-title":"Helminthologia"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref016","first-page":"25","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 11th Annual Meeting of the ENRECA Livestock Helminths Research Project in Eastern and Southern Africa","author":"Pfukenyi","year":"2002"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.151.16.482"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3282589"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref004","first-page":"327","article-title":"Paramphistomiasis of cattle in Sierra Leone and seasonal fluctuation in its prevalence","volume":"37","author":"Asanji","year":"1989","journal-title":"Bulletin of Animal Health and Production in Africa"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref024","first-page":"65","volume-title":"The epidemiology and control of gastrointestinal parasites of cattle in Australia","author":"Winks","year":"1983"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref018","first-page":"11","article-title":"Incidence of liver fluke (Fasciola gigantica) in Barotse cattle, Zambia","volume":"21","author":"Silangwa","year":"1973","journal-title":"Bulletin Epizootic Diseases in Africa"},{"key":"S0022149X00703920_ref015","unstructured":"Phiri, A.M.
