This case report describes paramphistomosis from the rumen ofan infected 3-year-old Bos indicus or also known as Zebu cattle that was sent to the Veterinary Research Institute (VRI), Ipoh,Perak for post-mortem examination with a history of a sudden death. On post-mortem, it was found that the rumen contents hada large number of pink, pear shaped flukes, which measured about 1 cm in length attached to the rumen wall. On performing the sedimentation technique on the rumen contents, operculated eggs with germ cells were observed microscopically under compound microscope with a magnification of 100×. Regular screening of cattle for flukes is an important part of parasite controlprogrammes especially in endemic areas as it can cause anaemia and deterioration in body condition.

A comprehensive study was conducted on the clinical observationsincluding clinical history, physical examination along with haematobiochemical alteration on 41 naturally occurring cases of canine babesiosis from Punjab state, India. Examination of 964 dogs revealed 4.25 percent (41/964) prevalence of the disease including 3.84 percent (37) B. gibsoni and 0.41 percent (4) B. canis infected cases. Clinical and parasitological diagnosis was finally confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. A large variation of clinical anifestations including rare findings of paraplegia, blindness, ocular bleeding, immune mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA), ascites and skin lesions were observed among the affected animals. Bloodfilms showed anisocytosis and nucleated erythrocytes indicating regenerative anaemia. Blood parameters of the affected dogs revealed significant decrease in Hb, TEC, PCV and thrombocytes. Significantdecrease in lymphocytes was found in B. gibsoni affected animals. The affected dogs showed significant increase in serum bilirubin, ALT, AKP, BUN and creatinine. Haemato-biochemical observations wereindicative of severity of babesiosis in dogs.
