Abstract: MADRID, JERSEY ANNE B. Detection of Fasciola spp. in cows & Water and its Correlation to Physicochemical Parameters and the Levels of Nitrate and Phosphate in Selected Sites in Labac, River. Undergraduate thesis. Bachelor of Science in Biology major in General Biology. Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. June 2019. Adviser Prof. Arvie Grace B. Masibag. Fascioliasis is the most common parasitic disease occurring in cattle or cows caused by the trematodes of the genus Fasciola. It is an alarming hepatic disease that can cause great economic loss in ruminants. Manifestation of parasites gives the largest influence on farms and livestock industries. The study aimed to: (l) determine the presence and egg count of Fasciola spp. in fecal samples of cows; (2) determine the presence and egg count of Fasciola spp. in waters of Labac River; (3) determine the physicochemical parameters and the levels of Nitrate and Phosphate in selected sites of Labac River; and (4) determine whether there is a correlation between Fasciola spp. and physicochemical parameters and the levels of Nitrate and Phosphate in selected sites of Labac River. Collection of fecal and water samples were conducted at the three selected sites namely, Estuary, Balsahan River and Kay Alamang River. After which, detection of the parasites in fecal samples was performed. Physicochemical characteristics of water samples such as pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Nitrate and Phosphate were also determined. No Fasciola spp. was detected in the water samples. Instead, Fasciola spp.,Trichoslrongylus axei and Oslertagia ostertagi were detected, identified and quantified. The absence of Fascio/a spp. especially in water made the correlation insignificant. However, pH was verified to be a critical factor for the growth of Fasciola spp. based on studies.

Fascioliasis is the most common parasitic disease occurring in cattle or cows
caused by the trematodes of the genus Fasciola. It is an alarming hepatic disease that can
cause great economic loss in ruminants. Manifestation of parasites gives the largest influence
on farms and livestock industries. The study aimed to: (l) determine the presence and egg
count of Fasciola spp. in fecal samples of cows; (2) determine the presence and egg count of
Fasciola spp. in waters of Labac River; (3) determine the physicochemical parameters and the
levels of Nitrate and Phosphate in selected sites of Labac River; and (4) determine whether
there is a correlation between Fasciola spp. and physicochemical parameters and the levels of
Nitrate and Phosphate in selected sites of Labac River.
Collection of fecal and water samples were conducted at the three selected sites namely,
Estuary, Balsahan River and Kay Alamang River. After which, detection of the parasites in fecal
samples was performed. Physicochemical characteristics of water samples such as pH,
Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Nitrate and
Phosphate were also determined. No Fasciola spp. was detected in the water samples. Instead,
Fasciola spp.,Trichoslrongylus axei and Oslertagia ostertagi were detected, identified and
quantified. The absence of Fascio/a spp. especially in water made the correlation insignificant.
However, pH was verified to be a critical factor for the growth of Fasciola spp. based on studies.
