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.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Fasciola hepática in guinea pigs from 10 communities in the Chota district, Cajamarca region, Peru. In total, 370 faecal samples collected at random from guinea pigs without distinction of age, line, type, breed or sex were analysed by the Lumbreras Rapid Sedimentation Technique. It was found a prevalence of 4.6 ± 2.13% (17/370) of guinea pigs positive to F. hepatica.
