| Fasciola hepatica invasion in horses from central and eastern Poland |
| In the years 2006-2009 coproscopic investigations of 1550 horses from central and eastern Poland have been conducted. Flotation, decantation and sedimentation-flotation methods were used. Parasitological autopsies of 950 horse livers were carried out. Fasciolosis was confirmed intra vitam in one live horse (0.07% examined) and in one horse post mortem (0.11%). Despite the fact that the invasion of Fasciola hepatica occurs in Poland sporadically, it should nevertheless be considered in the differential diagnosis of some diseases of horses. |
