N2 - A diagnostic protocol for fasciolosis in cattle developed by Clinic of Farm Animal Medicine in Veterinary School of Karditsa, based on the combination of coprological examination and determination of serum liver enzymes at a minimum of 20 animals of the herd, was evaluated in a high risk cattle herd. Presence of eggs in 60% of fecal samples and increased AST (100% samples) as. well as y-GT (80% samples) confirmed the presence of both immature and mature flukes. This helped in deciding that the treatment suitable for both kinds of flukes be given.
