Abstract :
The present study was carried out to isolate and identify the aerobic bacteria associated with fascoliasis in bovine livers. A total of 223 livers samples infested with, Fasciola gigantica were collected from Omdurman Slaughter-house. They were examined bacteriologically, the isolated aerobic bacteria were as follows: Staphylococcus spp (9.0%), Micrococcus spp (9.0%) bacillus spp, (19.0%)Coryenbacterium spp (10.0%), Aerococcus spp (1.0%), Escherichia coli (19.5%), Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (1.5%), Chromobacterium violaceum (10.0%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.5%), Pseudomonas diminuta (3.5%), Morganella morganii (1.0%), Proteus mirabilis (3.5%), Proteus vulgaris (1.0%), Citrobacter freundii (5.0%), Edwardsiella tarda (1.5%) and Enterobacter cloacae (3.5%). In conclusion no pathological changes in lungs of slaughtered cattle which were infested with Fasciola gigantica, large number of livers and gall bladder were condemned in abattoir during meat inspection and causes economic losses. So, Fascoliasis causes heavy economic losses in sheep, goats and camel but the great losses in Sudan seem to be encountered in cattle.
