Rumen fluke in South American camelids in Great Britain

|
By Michael Millar, Aiden Foster, Gillian Mitchell, Philip J. Skuce
| Veterinary Record Verified
Rumen fluke infections have been increasingly diagnosed in cattle and sheep in Great Britain in recent years (Foster and others 2008), primarily through the detection of rumen fluke eggs in faecal samples, with a peak in total diagnoses in 2013 after the wet summer and autumn of 2012 (APHA 2015). Alpacas and llamas are herbivorous but not true ruminants, and have three stomachs or compartments – C1, C2 and C3 (C1 is similar to the rumen, C2 to the reticulum and C3 to the abomasum).

PLOS ONE: Prevalence of Liver Fluke (Fasciola hepatica) in Wild Red Deer (Cervus elaphus): Coproantigen ELISA Is a Practicable Alternative to Faecal Egg Counting for Surveillance in Remote Populations

|
By Andrew French, Ruth N. Zadoks, Philip J. Skuce, Gillian Mitchell
| PLOS
Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are hosts of liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica); yet, prevalence is rarely quantified in wild populations. Testing fresh samples from remote regions by faecal examination (FE) can be logistically challenging; hence, we appraise frozen storage and the use of a coproantigen ELISA (cELISA) for F. hepatica surveillance. We also present cELISA surveillance data for red deer from the Highlands of Scotland.
