Resumen:
A study was conducted in cattle slaughtered at the main abattoir in
Mexico City (Ferreria) from January 1977 to December 1988 to determine
the monthly and yearly frequency and economic impact of fasciolasis in
these animals. The study was based on an analysis of the official
records of the Sanitary Inspection Service of Ferreria. During this
period, 2,101,224 bovines were slaughtered and 109,127 livers with F.
hepatica were confiscated, representing 5.19%, equivalent to 763,889 kg
of bovine livers with an economic loss of 1,375,000,200 pesos. The range
of confiscated livers was between 3.70% and 6.28%. The year with the
most confiscations was 1977 and the least, 1982; July and March were the
months with the highest (6.82%) and the lowest (4.09%) figures,
respectively.
