An overall prevalence was recorded to be 23.25% with 147 positive cases out of 632 cases in sheep. A significant difference was observed in the prevalence rate of the disease in sheep. The highest prevalence of ovine amphistomosis was recorded in the month of October (39.62%). The prevalence recorded in the monsoon season (34.43%) was significantly higher than in winter season (21.42%) and summer season (13.80%). The prevalence of amphistomosis in ovine female was 24.76%. In old animals (>2) years of age the prevalence of 25.55% was observed to be non significantly higher than younger animals (<2) years respectively.EnglishThesis
