- Abstract
This study describes the clinical and pathological findings attributed to massive infection by pancreatic trematodes of the genre Eurytrema (Loos, 1907) in a female Jersey heifer from the city of Seara located in the west part of Santa Catarina state, Brazil. The two-year-old animal showed insufficient development,chronic emaciation, cachexia, prolonged decubitus and anemia,being euthanized in extremis. The necropsy indicated an enlarging of the pancreas which demonstrated crepitated pale surface of irregular cut and, where several trematodes were observed emerging actively from the organ. Histologically, there was chronicinterstitial pancreatitis. The parasite was identified as Eurytremacoelomaticum (Giard & Billet, 1882). It is the first record of clinical eurytrematosis in bovines in the state of Santa Catarina.
