Abstract
The estimated mortality in six- to 30-month-old cattle due to presumptive schistosomiasis was 7.1% for 155 interviews conducted in the White Nile Province in 1981. This mortality was higher for those herds under sedentary management than for migratory herds (9.4% vs 3.6%). The interviews were done through an informal visit technique by a veterinarian living in the area. The approximate number (19,000) of cattle over six months old estimated to be owned by those interviewed represents about 1% of the population in that province. The mortality from all causes in the six- to 30-month age group was 9.2%; in the over 30-month age group it was 1.8%. The authors judge the schistosomiasis mortality to be somewhat upwardly biased but the mortality due to all causes (9.2%) is consistent with the few reports available. La mortalité estimée de bovins âgés de 6 à 30 mois par suite de schistosomose était de 7, 1 p. 100 pour 155 entretiens conduits dans la province du Nil Blanc en 1981. Cette mortalité était plus élevée dans les troupeaux sédentaires que dans les troupeaux migrants (9,4 p. 100 contre 3,6 p. 100). Les entretiens ont été réalisés au cours de visites non programmées faites par le vétérinaire résident du lieu. Le nombre approximatif de bovins (19.000) de plus de 6 mois possédés par les éleveurs interrogés représente environ 1 p. 100 de la population dans cette province. La mortalité de toutes causes confondues entre 6 et 30 mois est de 9,2 p. 100. Pour le groupe âgé de plus de 30 mois elle est de 1,8 p. 100. L'auteur considère que la mortalité par schistosomose est quelque peu surestimée mais la mortalité globale correspond aux donneés disponibles. La mortalidad estimada en ganado de 6 a 30 meses, presuntamente por esquistosomiasis, fué de 7.1% en 155 entrevistas llevadas a cabo en la Provincia Nilo Blanco en el año 1981. La mortalidad fué más alta en aquellos hatos sedentarios que en los migratórios (9.4% vs 3.6%). Las entrevistas fueron hechas de manera informal, por un veterinario del área. El número aproximado de ganado (19,000) sobre los seis meses de edad, propiedad de los entrevisados, representa cerca del 1% de la población de la Provincia. La mortalidad general (otras causas) en el grupo de 6 a 30 meses, fué de 9.2%. En el de mas de 30 meses de edád, ésta fué de 1.8%. Los autores opinan, que la mortalidad debida aparentemente a esquistosomiasis está un poco alta, pero la mortalidad general de 9.2% es consistente con la poca información existente.Keywords
