dc.description.abstract Prevalence of fasciolosis was assessed in some areas of the Punjab, Province by using indirect haernagglutination (IHA) test and overall it was noted 18.33% in buffaloes and 4.67% in humans. In buffaloes, area wise prevalence was recorded highest in Kamonki (32.0%) followed by Muridke (26.0%), Shandra (20.0%), Kasur (14.0%), Gujranwala (10.0%) and lowest in Sheikhupura (8.0%). Similar results were noted in case of humans, prevalence was highest in Kamonki (8.0%) followed by Muridke and Shandra (6.0%), Kasur (4.0%) and lowest in Gujranwala and Sheikhupura (2.0%). Statistically area wise significant (P<0.05) difference was observed in buffaloes while non-significant in humans, when analyzed by Chi-square test. Gender wise male buffaloes showed higher prevalence while in humans females were found to be more susceptible than males. In age wise data adult buffaloes were found with higher prevalence. In humans all infected subjects were below the age of 30 years. Age and gender wise no significant (P>0.05) difference was observed in buffaloes as well as in humans. en_US
