Abstract

Fasciolosis is commonly suffered by the ruminants such as cattle and buffaloes, and as one of the most important parasitic disease . The prevalence of fasciolosis in ruminants is related to the contaminated feedstuff and water supply with metacercariae, the infective larvae of trematode genus Fasciola spp ., such as Fasciola gigantica and F. hepatica. In Indonesia, the prevalence of this disease in ruminants could be up to 90%, and there is no case report on human being . However, the occurrence of this disease in human should be anticipated, since many cases have been reported in human in the other countries, such as South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia (Thailand and Vietnam), as "Food-borne infection" and as one of the most important issues in public health . Ironically, the farmers and the extension agents in Indonesia do not aware on the danger of this disease neither to the animals nor to human, so they also do not care on how to prevent and control the disease. This phenomenon appears maybe because fasciolosis is a chronic disease without any significant clinical signs and quite difficult to be detected . Thus, it is very important to improve the public awareness on fasciolosis both in ruminants and its possibility in human being . The endemic areas can be defined by epidemiological surveillance using accurate early diagnostic test, so that strategic and sustainable fasciolosis control in the endemic areas could be implemented . This program will be succeeded if there is strong integrated collaboration among the farmers, the extension agents, the researchers and the decision makers in the related departments . Key words : Fasciolosis, zoonosis, public awareness

Abstract

Fasciolosis is known as a common parasitic disease in ruminants. However, in the last thirty years there were reports of high evidence on human fasciolosis in many countries, such as South America, Africa, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. Fasciolosis in human is caused by trematodes, such as Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica, and there is no report of human Fasciolosis in Indonesia caused by F. gigantica, except human fasciolopsiasis caused by Fasciolopsis buski. The prevalence of fasciolosis in ruminants in Indonesia is up to 90% and people in some parts of Indonesia like to consume raw vegetables; this habit is assumed to be able to spread fasciolosis in human. Therefore, caution on the occurrence ofthe disease in human, particularly those living in the farming areas ofendemic fasciolosis that have a habit of consuming raw vegetables needs to be enhanced through epidemiological investigation by using an accurate diagnostic technique. Key words: Human fasciolosis, Indonesia, epidemiology study
