Paramphistomum cervi is one of the most common trematode infections in bovines especially in buffaloes. The present studies have confirmed that a least 50-70% buffaloes slaughtered in slaughter houses are infected with this trematode. During the present survey 130 out of 150 buffaloes were found infected with this parasite, the commonly infected organ was found to be the liver. Hundreds of trematode were found attached to liver and sometimes hardly any liver tissue was obvious appearing as a mass of beads. This infection has an adverse effect on the health of animals and their byproducts.
