Los Paramphistómidos son parásitos de alto riesgo, con elevada prevalencia en Cajamarca, siendo la forma adulta poco estudiada, formulándose como objetivos: Evaluar el daño histopatológico del rumen, la relación de Paramphistómidos con número de huevos por gramo de heces (HPG), la ganancia de peso diario (GPD), condición corporal (CC) y concentraciones de: glucosa, colesterol, triglicéridos y urea, en bovinos positivos a Paramphistómidos, mediante los métodos de: sedimentación en heces, examen macroscópico y enzimático en sangre. Los análisis fueron realizados en los Laboratorios de Embriología e Histología, Parasitología y Fisiología de la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias de la UNC y SENASA–LIMA. Se trabajó con 58 bovinos: 32 positivos a Paramphistómidos del Camal Municipal de Cajamarca, 10 se utilizaron para la histopatología del tejido del rumen y de 22 se ob...

The aim of this study was the evaluate the frequency and morphometric characterization of ectopic Fasciola hepatica in the lung. For this, 2066 lungs of cattle were evaluated in the municipal abattoir of Cajamarca, Peru, between July and August 2018. The lungs presenting macroscopic lesions were reviewed to determine the presence or absence of ectopic Fasciola hepatica. The frequency of erratic pulmonary fasciolosis was 3.68 ± 0.8%. Morphometrically, the ectopic Fasciola hepatica maintains a foliaceous shape, with pale pinkish to grey-brown coloration, measuring 10.36 ± 3.44 mm long and 4.31 ± 0.97 mm wide, and without evidence of oviposition.
