OLIVARES OROZCO, J et al. EVALUATION OF ALBENDAZOL AND PRAZIQUANTEL AGAINST Thysanosoma actinioides (CESTODA: ANOPLOCEPHALIDAE), IN SHEEPS. Rev Salud Anim. [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.1, pp. 54-56. ISSN 0253-570X.

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of albendazole and praziquantel against Thysanosoma actinioides, sheep faeces samples were taken directly from the rectum and macroscopically observed for finding and identifying cestode proglottids. The faecal qualitative analysis was applied to detect, under the microscope, the presence of eggs from T. actinoides. The positive animals were divided into three homogeneous groups (control and treated) of 20 sheep each one (with homogeneity in age, sex and weight), with the objective to evaluate the drugs. The results showed 45% effectiveness with Albedazol and 95% with Praquinzantel, thus the thainal product can be used for treatment.
