Aldo Alim Valderrama Pomé
This literature review aims to compile publications from 1985 to 2015, such as original articles, short communications and case reports, on the prevalence of liver fluke in cattle, sheep and goats in Peru; as well as to collect scientific articles, conference proceedings and theses carried out at Peruvian universities. A descriptive and transversal bibliometric study was performed, with an internet search strategy based on the combination of keywords and Boolean operators used in databases such as Science Direct, Web of Knowledge, Scopus, and Proquest. Peru has many hyperendemic areas of fascioliosis in cattle and sheep (>50 %), which are within the highest in the world. Goats only have mesoendemic infection rates (10-50 %). The age group of full mouth goats presents the most prevalence within all three species, but the variable of sex shows no significant difference.
