Clinicopathological Indications of Resilience of Swamp Buffaloes to Infection with Fasciola gigantica
Fasciolosis caused by Fasciola gigantica is a common disease among livestock such as swamp buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in rice-producing areas in humid tropical regions. It causes a significant reduction in meat and milk production, growth rate, fertility and draught power in infected animals (Dargie, 1987). However, the extent to which infection adversely affects the production of infected animals depends on several factors, among which is the breed of susceptible animals. Different breeds of animals and individuals within the same breed manifest varying responses and resilience to infection (Spithill et at., 1999). For instance, differences in response to infection with F. gigantica were seen in Bali, Ongole and buffalo calves in terms of weight gain (E. Wiedosari, personal communication, 1997). This information demonstrates breed differences in response to F. gigantica infection and shows that swamp buffaloes are more resilient than cattle to F. gigantica. The clinicopathological responses of swamp buffaloes naturally infected with F. gigantica were evaluated in this study to determine whether these parameters would indicate resilience to natural infection with parasites.
Differences in Susceptibility between Cattle and Swamp Buffaloes to Infection with Fasciola gigantica
Cattle and buffaloes in the wet tropics are commonly infected with Fasciola gigantica (Spithill et al., 1999). There are few reports on differences in susceptibility to infection between cattle and buffaloes. E. Wiedosari (personal communication, 1997) demonstrated that buffaloes were least affected by infection with F. gigantica compared to Bali and Ongole calves. Differences in resistance and/or resilience to F. gigantica between cattle and buffaloes may exist as there are reports of breed differences in susceptibility to F. gigantica between Friesian and Boran cattle (Wamae et al., 1998), between Indonesian thin-tailed sheep, Merinos and St Croix sheep (Widjajanti et al., 1999), and between Red Masai and Dorper sheep (Waweru et al., 1999). This paper compares the susceptibility of cattle (Bos indicus) and swamp buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) to infection with F. gigantica based on 
parasitological and clinicopathological parameters.
