Abstract
This study was designated to evaluate the prevalence of hepatic parasitic lesions in goats and to characterize its pathological (morphological and histo-pathologic) features.
Among a total of 1400 examined goats, the prevalence was 15.07 %. Four types of parasitic affections were reported : 1) Fascioliasis (6.4 %), 2) Tennicollosis (5.5 %), 3) Hydatidosis (2.14 %) and 4) Nodular parasitic lesions without identifying the type of parasite (1 %).
