The incidence of immature flukes was high in September to December and mature flukes from December to March. A survey of chronic fascioliasis was conducted covering almost the whole country. The prevalence of the disease was high in the Northern and Central Regions. Based on the epidemiological findings a control programme for the disease in Malawi was prepared.
