[Paramphostomid infestation in equids in Egypt].

The investigation of 156 donkeys in the area of the veterinary faculty of the Tanta University in Kafr el-Sheikh showed that 49 animals (31.41%) were infected with trematodes, 34 donkeys (21.80%) served as hosts for Gastrodiscus aegyptiacus, 22 (14.10%) were infected with Fasciola gigantica und 7 (4.49%) with both trematodes. 6 of 40 examined horses (15.0%) showed monoinfections with G. aegyptiacus only. Because of the fragmentary knowledge on these paramphistomides of equids, some aspects concerning the morphology, pathology and clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis, occurrence, host specificity as well as therapy are discussed on the basis of the results from the central Nil delta. From now on further investigations are concentrated on the regional occurrence, frequency of infection of various hosts, seasonal changes of the excretion of eggs and chemotherapeutical possibilities.
