Resumo
The fasciolosis has become a serious economic problem for producers in the southern of Espírito Santoand possibly to the full extent of the territorial state, with a view to possible contamination of cattle herds, sheep, goats and buffaloes for the transport of infected animals and the presence of intermediate host in different river basins in the region. The objective of this project was to conduct an epidemiological study of fascioliasis in sheep, goats and buffaloes in municipalities in southern Espírito Santo. Were collected 424 fecal samples of sheep, 349 of goats and 42 of buffaloes. A total of 58 (13.68%) samples of sheep, 76 (21.78%) samples of goats and 10 (23.81%) samples of buffaloes were positive for eggs of Fasciola hepatica. It was found that there was no association between the presence of positive animals in the presence of wetlands, with the presence of positive calves or the presence of animals confined. Only there was no association between positive property with the presence of previous cases of fascioliasis in the properties studied.
