DYSTOCIA DUE TO SCHISTOSOMA REFLEXUS IN A NON DESCRIPTIVE DOE

摘要

A case of dystocia due to Schistosoma reflexus of the kid in a goat and its successful per vaginal delivery is described in this report. Schistosoma reflexus is a rare type of fetal monster seen primarily in cattle and rare in goats. This fatal congenital syndrome is characterized by the presence of exposed abdominal and sometimes thoracic viscera (Schistosomus) and marked spinal inversion producing a distinctive ventral convex curvature (Roberts, 1986). This paper reports a case of dystocia in a doecaused by fetus with Schistosoma reflexus.
