Impact of meteorological and environmental factors on the spatial distribution of Fasciola hepatica in beef cattle herds in Sweden

Original language description

This study examined the geographical distribution of Fasciola hepatica and identified high-risk areas for beef cattle in Sweden and sought to characterise potential predictors. Beef cattle serum samples were collected during winter 2006-2007 from 2135 herds which were examined for Fasciola hepatica antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Fasciolosis distribution maps were created using GIS based on postcode location of seropositive herds. Spatial scan analysis (SaTScan) was performed todetermine high-risk areas. Using datasets on animal density, temperature, precipitation and Corine land cover data, including soil type and soil mineral concentrations in Sweden, bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were carried out in Rsoftware to reveal potential predictors of Fasciola hepatica infection. Results: Overall herd seroprevalence of Fasciola hepatica in beef cattle was 9.8 % (95 % CI: 8.6-11.1). An irregular spatial distribution of Fasciola hepatica, with t
