| Abstract | Monieziasis is a disease caused by Moniezia spp. The most common species of Moniezia found in ruminants are M.expansa and M. benedeni. The objective of the present study was to determine the status of monieziasis in domestic ruminants inPerak, Malaysia. A total of 11,933 fresh fecal samples from domestic ruminants in Perak were received for monieziasisscreening, commencing from 2010 to 2017. Simple floatation was performed and 2.27% of the samples were detected to carryMoniezia spp.'s eggs. Among the positive cases, goat was dominant with 255 (94.10%) cases, followed by 10 (3.69%) cases forcattle, and 3 (1.10%) cases each for buffalo and sheep. The occurrence rate of monieziasis cases was between 5 and 77, with anaverage of 34 cases per year. The disease can be effectively controlled by reducing the exposure to pasture mites during grazing,and by application of good management practices. |
