Adult flukes are found in the bile ducts of liver, but occasionally small adults are found encapsulated in cancerous nodular lesions in the lungs. Acute and sub-acute forms of fasciolasis develops 2 – 3 weeks after massive infections and signs include anorexia, abdominal pains, yellowish and pale conjunctiva, weight loss and sudden death. Migratory juvenile flukes cause haemorrhagic tracts in liver parenchyma, with associated peritonitis. Heavy infestation may cause death in the stage of acute hepatitis (acute fascioliasis) and Black disease caused by Clostridium novyi intoxication (Love and Hutchinso, 2003). Human cases have been reported in the Tropics in parts of Africa and Hawaii. Human infection is by eating raw watercress and water plants as snacks or salad which are contaminated with immature forms of the parasite. Symptoms include gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pains, fever and breathing difficulty may occur. This work however, will involve post mortem examination of cow livers in a local abattoir in Uli which has no idea of Veterinary inspection. In this area it was observed that even the heavily infested livers were sold for human consumption.
