Histopathological examination revealed multifocal, granulomatous, portal phlebitis in the liver, multifocal, granulomatous, peri-portal hepatitis with marked portal and perisinusoidal fibrosis, and multifocal granulomatous colitis with intralesional <em>Schistosoma </em>eggs. To our knowledge, this is the first report of cecocolic intussusception in an Asian elephant associated with <em>Schistosoma</em> infection. </p><p>Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 3(4): 744-746</p>}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology}, author={Karawita, A.C. and Rajapakse, R.C. and Amarasiri, P.G.I.D. and Ramanayake, R.M.T.M. and Jayaweera, W.R. and Bollinger, Trent K. and Gunawardena, G.S.P.De.S.}, year={2015}, month={Dec.}, pages={744–746} }
