2016 年 3 月至 2016 年 5 月在埃塞俄比亚 Nekemte 古托吉达区进行了一项横断面研究，以确定牛血吸虫病的患病率。采用简单随机抽样方法选择研究动物，并应用沉降技术从新鲜粪便样本中寻找血吸虫卵。在检查的 384 份粪便样本中，有 22 份呈阳性，表明研究区域血吸虫病总体患病率为 5.7%。吉伦加克贝莱（9.1%）的牛血吸虫病患病率高于加阿里克贝莱（4.6%）和达洛克贝莱（3.7%）。然而，未发现牛血吸虫病患病率与起源相关的统计显着差异。同样，两性之间也没有观察到统计学上的显着差异（P>0.05）。据报道，身体状况类别的患病率在身体状况不佳时相对较高（8.4%），在身体状况良好时则相对较低（3.8%）。然而，三种身体状况类别之间没有统计学上的显着差异（P>0.05）。研究结果表明，血吸虫病应被视为古托吉达地区牲畜生产力的主要限制因素之一。血吸虫病的控制措施必须针对寄生虫或蜗牛中间宿主。
A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2016 to May 2016 at Guto Gida District, Nekemte, Ethiopia to determine the prevalence of bovine schistosomosis. Simple random sampling method was used to select the study animals and sedimentation technique was applied for finding Schistosoma eggs from fresh fecal samples. Out of 384 fecal samples examined, 22 were found positive indicating an overall prevalence of 5.7% schistosomosis in the study area. The prevalence of bovine schistosomosis was higher in Jirenga kebele (9.1%) than Gaarii kebele (4.6%) and Dalo kebele (3.7%). However, no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of bovine schistosomiasis in relation to origin was found. Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference observed between both sexes (P>0.05). The prevalence in body condition category was reported relatively higher in poor body condition (8.4%) and lower in good body condition (3.8%). However, no statistically significant differences appreciated among the three body condition categories (P>0.05). The finding indicated that, schistosomosis should be taken into consideration as one of the major limiting factor to livestock productivity at Guto Gida District. The control measures against schistosomosis must be designed to target either the parasite or the snail intermediate host.
