This study aims to\n                    determine the prevalence of Dicrocoelium dendriticum in local\n                    sheep breeds (Naemi, Najdi, and Harri) and imported breeds from Romania (Romani\n                    breed) and the epidemiology of the infection in Saudi Arabia. Morphological\n                    description, the relationship between dicrocoeliasis and sex, age, and\n                    histological changes were also presented. A total of 6845 slaughtered sheep at\n                    Riyadh Automated slaughterhouse were investigated and followed up for 4 months\n                    between 2020\u20132021. It included 4,680 local breeds and 2,165 imported\n                    Romanian breeds. Fecal samples and livers and gallbladders from slaughtered\n                    animals were examined for apparent pathological lesions. The results indicated\n                    that the infection rate in slaughtered animals was 10.6% in imported Romani\n                    sheep and 0.9% in the local Naeimi breed. After identifying the parasite\n                    morphologically, negative results were obtained from examining feces,\n                    gallbladders, and livers of Najdi and Harry sheep breeds. The mean number of\n                    eggs per 20 \u00b5L\/gallbladder was low (72.78 \u00b1 17.8: 76.11 \u00b1\n                    5.07), medium (334.59 \u00b1 90.6: 292.91 \u00b1 26.63), and high (1113.2\n                    \u00b1 22.3: 1004 \u00b1 143.4) in imported and Naeime sheep, respectively.\n                    Significant differences were found between gender and age (males and females\n                    were 3.67% and 6.31%; &gt; 2 years 4.39%, 1\u20132 years 4.22%, and 1 year\n                    3.53%) respectively. Histopathological lesions in the liver were more\n                    pronounced. Our survey confirmed the presence of D. dendriticum\n                    in imported Romani and local Naeimi sheep, and the potential role of imported\n                    sheep in the epidemiology of dicrocoeliasis in Saudi Arabia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5187\/jast.2022.e63","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,21]],"date-time":"2022-10-21T03:05:25Z","timestamp":1666321525000},"page":"1215-1225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5187\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Survey of Dicrocoelium dendriticum infection in\n                    imported Romani and local sheep (Ovis aries), and potential\n                    epidemiological role in Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.5187","volume":"64","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3717-6424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mutee","family":"Murshed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02f81g417","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4204-3124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saleh","family":"Al-Quraishy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02f81g417","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0662-2113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed M","family":"Mares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02f81g417","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5457-2555","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Osama B.","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02f81g417","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3675-1397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hossam M.
