A four-year retrospective study was conducted to determine the distribution of parasitic diseases of sheep encountered at the zonal veterinary clinic katsina from 2012 to 2015. A total of 391 cases were recorded during the time period, out of which 115 cases of parasitic diseases were identified. The obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis using descriptive statistics. The result indicated that the overall prevalence of parasitic diseases is 29.40%, with helminthosis (26.60%) as the most prevalent parasitic disease in the study area. Other parasitic diseases of sheep identified during the study are lousiness (0.77%), coccidiosis (1.53%), and tick infestation (0.24%). It is recommended that farmers should be enlightened on the menace of these parasitic diseases, with emphasis on routine deworming, and use of appropriate drugs for prevention and control of these parasitic diseases.
