Liver fluke infections is an important parasitic disease that common attack cattle, buffalo and others ruminant. The disease in the tropics is caused by Fasciola gigantica trematodes. Fasciolosis found in Bali cattle besides causing high economic loss also has the opportunity infect humans. This study aims to determine the pathology changes of Bali cattle hepatobiliary system infected by F. gigantica. In January 2019 were examined a hundred of liver tissue Bali cattle. Based on the sex as many as 75 bali cattle are cows and 25 are bulls. On macroscopic examination was found fifteen bali cattles in gallbladder containing of F. gigantica. In positive Fasciolosis the surface of liver look uneven with enlargement of lymph nodes. The tissue of Bali cattle liver infected with F. gigantica is cut into 1x1x1 cm and put in a pot that has been filled with 10% neutral buffered formaline. The fixed tissue then processed in a tissue processor and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE). Microscopic examination was found bile ducts proliferation and blocked of the lumen accompanied by cholangio cirrhosis. Found longitudinal pieces of Fasciola gigantica liver fluke surrounded by fibrous connective tissue and multifocal coagulative necrosis with fibroblast proliferation. In some location the infiltration of neutrophil cells around the bile ducts can also be seen. Congestion, bleeding, and neutrophil infiltration are also seen in areas of necrosis. In the bile duct wall bleeding, adenomatus hyperplasia, infiltration of mononuclear cells with mild intensity and foci of calcification are found. It can be concluded that there was a change with severe intensity accompanied by chronic inflammation in the hepatobiliary system of Bali cattle with Fasciolosis.

Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica belong to Trematoda family which can cause fasciolosis. Fasciola hepatica is commonly found in temperate climates, while Fasciola gigantica is found in areas with wet tropical climates. Research on Fasciola gigantica especially in Bali is still very little, was just limited to the prevalence, epidemiology and histopathology of liver. This study aims to determine the morphometry of Fasciola gigantica infecting Bali cattle in Bali. This descriptive study used 43 samples of worms. Measurement of morphometry is done by microscope equipped with camera Axio Cam ERc 5S and software used is IMAGEJ and ZEN LITE. The morphometric analysis showed that there were two differentiating factors that is PB (Body Length) and LB (Body Width). The morphometric of Fasciola gigantica in Bali is smaller compared to Fasciola gigantica in general but larger than Fasciola hepatica.

In most tropical countries, such as Indonesia, fasciolosis is generally caused by Fasciola gigantica known as tropical liver fluke. However, most fasciolosis serodiagnostic tests have been developed solely for diagnosing fasciolosis caused by Fasciola hepatica (non-tropical liver fluke), and very few have been specifically designed for F. gigantica. The aim of this study was to determine the profile of antigenic proteins from the somatic extract of F. gigantica isolated from Bali cattle (Bos javanicus). The liver flukes were collected from a slaughtering house in Mataram, Indonesia. The somatic extracts were prepared by homogenizing in buffers containing 0.05 M NaCl, 0.02 M PMSF, and 0.05% Triton X-100. The characterization of the somatic extract proteins was performed using one-dimension gel electrophoresis and followed by Western blotting to determine the profile of its antigenic proteins. There were 14 bands of the somatic extracts with an estimated molecular weight ranging from 8 to105 8 kDa shown on the gel electrophoresis. The results of the Western blot show that there were five prominent protein bands. Three out of five prominent antigenic proteins with molecular weights of 8, 27, and 33 kDa are promising to enrich the existence of antigens that have immunodiagnostic value for fasciolosis. Therefore, further studies are required to examine more deeply the potency of those three antigenic somatic proteins of F. gigantica.

AbstractFasciola hepatica (liver fluke), a significant threat to food security, causes global economic loss for the livestock industry and is re-emerging as a foodborne disease of humans. In the absence of vaccines, treatment control is by anthelmintics; with only triclabendazole (TCBZ) currently effective against all stages of F. hepatica in livestock and humans. There is widespread resistance to TCBZ and its detoxification by flukes might contribute to the mechanism. However, there is limited phase I capacity in adult parasitic helminths with the phase II detoxification system dominated by the soluble glutathione transferase (GST) superfamily. Previous proteomic studies have demonstrated that the levels of Mu class GST from pooled F. hepatica parasites respond under TCBZ-sulphoxide (TCBZ-SO) challenge during in vitro culture ex-host. We have extended this finding by exploiting a sub-proteomic lead strategy to measure the change in the total soluble GST profile (GST-ome) of individual TCBZ-susceptible F. hepatica on TCBZ-SO-exposure in vitro culture. TCBZ-SO exposure demonstrated differential abundance of FhGST-Mu29 and FhGST-Mu26 following affinity purification using both GSH and S-hexyl GSH affinity. Furthermore, a low or weak affinity matrix interacting Mu class GST (FhGST-Mu5) has been identified and recombinantly expressed and represents a new low-affinity Mu class GST. Low-affinity GST isoforms within the GST-ome was not restricted to FhGST-Mu5 with a second likely low-affinity sigma class GST (FhGST-S2) uncovered. This study represents the most complete Fasciola GST-ome generated to date and has supported the potential of subproteomic analyses on individual adult flukes.

Inflammatory Changes

Choledochal cysts are rare congenital anomalies, mostly detected in adults. Pathogenesis of these cysts seems to be in anomalous junction between pancreatic and common bile duct, above the papillary sphincterand outside of the duodenal wall. The absence of the sphincter above the junction is followed by reflux of the pancreatic juice into the bile duct leading to dilatation and fibrous changes of bile duct wall. A 38-year-old female is presented in whom a choledochal cyst was found 11 years earlier, during the operation performed for obstructive jaundice, when cystojejunostomy with Roux-en Y jejunal limb was carried out. In February 1990, she was admitted to our Institution for jaundice and biliary colic. The patient was reoperated. Operative cholangiography showed an anomalous pancreatobiliary junction, choledochal cyst, dilated cystic duct and moderate dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts. Cholecystectomy, desanastomosis with partial excision of choledochal cyst, and retrocolic choledochojejunostomy with the same Roux-en-Y jejunal limb were performed. Total excision of choledochal cyst was too risky due to chronic inflammatory changes in the hepatoduodenal ligament. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patient remained symptom-free so far.

Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) or malignant diarrhea in cattle is one of the animal diseases that causes economic losses in the cattle industry worldwide. The biggest economic loss due to infection by Bovine Viral Diarrhea is related to reproductive and calf disorders that continue to transmit the virus to other cattle. This study aims to determine the presence of Bovine Viral Diarrhea antibodies in Bali cattle. The sample uses Bali cattle’s blood from 30 cows that are accommodated in 2 tubes that contain anti-coagulant and which do not contain anti-coagulant. After being processed to get serum, plasma and buffy coat cells, then the samples were examined using the ELISA method and presented descriptively. The results showed that there were positive suspects in Sobangan village, Badung with 8 out of 15 samples (53%) and positive suspects in the village of Payangan, Gianyar with 3 out of 15 samples (20%). Positive results are influenced by biosecurity of each type of sample farm, in Sobangan village is a large farm so biosecurity is difficult to implement and the spread of disease is faster than in Payangan village that have small farm type.

Lymnaea Natalensis

This paper focuses on the geographical distribution and the habitats of Lymnaea natalensis, the snail intermediate host of the liver fluke, Fasciola gigantica, as reflected by the collection sites of its 4 552 samples currently on record in the National Freshwater Snail Collection (NFSC) of South Africa. Although this species was represented in a variety of waterbodies, the majority of samples(±70%)came from rivers, brooks and dams and in 70.8% of the cases the water was described as permanent and in 71.8% as slow flowing or standing. The results of life-table studies conducted by various authors indicated that temperature should be a relatively unimportant factor in determining its geographical distribution, but that the availability of permanent water should be decisive for its presence in a given habitat. These results are in agreement with the finding that only 7.5% of the samples of this species in the NFSC were collected in habitats which were described as seasonal. Furthermore, it gives a logical explanation for the sporadic occurrence, or total absence of this species in the more arid regions of South Africa. Water impoundments and irrigation networks contribute to a large extent towards creating perennial habitats which would be suitable for L. natalensis. As intermediate host for one of the liver fluke species which already is an economic factor in South Africa, this certainly is an aspect which ought to be reckoned within the planning and construction of new irrigation schemes.

The purpose of this study was to comparative histomorphological investigation of the non affected and affected bile duct and gall bladder by fascioliasis in Black Bengal goat. The average weight of affected gall bladder was 26.10±0.70 gm which was significantly (p<0.001) higher than non affected gall bladder (19.40±0.96 gm). The average length and girth of affected gall bladder were 10.30±0.37 cm and 8.24±0.30 cm, respectively which were also significantly (p<0.001) higher than the length (6.10±0.30 cm) and Girth (5.85±0.25 cm) of non-affected gall bladder of Black Bengal Goat. The gross changes in acute form, thickening of the bile ducts and fibrosis in a portal area due to chronic fascioliasis was found in case of affected bile duct but were not found in case of non affected liver. A brownish exudates and a number of mature Fasciola gigantica were found in the lumen. The adult Fasciola gigantica was noticed in cross section in the lumen of the thickened bile ducts. Acute pathological lesions could only be produced by developing flukes prior to their entry to the bile ducts. Microscopically the epithelial layer of the bile ducts were seen to the partially disintegrated, but simultaneous proliferation of epithelial cells occurred. Thickening of the bile ducts was the result of connective tissue proliferation. Deposition of bile pigment in the tissue space and bile duct in some parts showed periductal cellular infiltrations, mainly neutrophiles, lymphocyte and eosinophiles. No calcification in the wall of the bile ducts in chronic Fascioliasis in goat could be seen in this study. The gall bladder was very dark usually contained blood clots, the consistency of bile was also very dense. Microcopically hyperplasia of the tubuloalveolar glands and numerous eggs were seen in the bile of infected goat which were absence in case of non infected goat. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res.
