EPIDEMIOLOGY OF PARANEHISTOKINETS TH THAR INCIDENCE OF PARAMPHISTOKS PARASITES! In the statistically planned survey, a total of 16,774 bovine comprising of 8,365 cattle and 0,419 buffaloes were examined, based on slaughter houses and post-mortem room materials for paramphistome parasites, from randomly selected 15 districts of Bihar, for a period of more than two years (april, 1983 to June, 1985). The over-all infection was 49.43 per cent whereas host-wise it was 58.39 per cent in cattle and 40.53 per cent in buffaloes. The statistical analysis revealed highly significant (p <0.01) variation between cattle and buffaloes (Table 1). In an organized survey of 15 districts of Bihar for paranghistoms infection was also studied for the first time. The highest incidence was recorded to be 91.6 per cent in cattle of Madhubani and 59.67 per cent in buffaloes of negusarai and lowest was observed to be 46.64 per cent in cattle of Ranchi and 20.57 per cent in buffaloes of Dhanbad. Incidence in cattle varied from 48.57 to 75.74 per cent and in buffaloes from 27.91 to 50.01 per cent in rest of the districts. Statistical analysis revealed.EnglishThesis
