Description
Byline: Saira Mufti, M. Maqbool Ahmad, Yusuf Zafar and Mazhar Qayyum Abstract.- Fasciolosis is caused by a trematode parasite widely distributed world over. Phenotypic analysis has been used to provide taxonomic position of Fasciola spp. This study highlights the taxonomical status of Fasciola species infecting cattle and buffalo of Potohar region. Adult gravid flukes were isolated from infected livers of the animals and were stained with Gower's carmine. The phenotypic parameters taken into consideration were BL, BW, VS-Post, VS-Vit indices and BL/BW ratios. The data was subjected to two way ANOVA and cluster analysis by using SPSS 16.1 version. Cluster analysis using hierarchical approach and similarity coefficient indicated that there were no phenotypic differences in Fasciola isolates of buffalo and cattle of Potohar and they were parasitized with the same liver fluke species. Results also revealed that there was a close similarity of Iranian F.gigantica and F. intermedia with that of local isolate.
