Abstract
This study aimed to correlate the occurrence
of schistosomiasis with age, sex, breed and
seasonal prevalence of cattle. Nasal washings
were collected to detect the presence of schistosomiasis.
It was also observed that, rate of infections
in adult cattle (over two years) were higher
than young cattle (below two years). Whereas
the frequency of schistosomiasis was lower in
localbred than crossbred cattle than in indigenous
cattle. The incidence of schistosomiasis
was more during rainy season than summer.
