Abstract:
An acute outbreak of Taenia hydatigena cysticercosis, causing mortality in 5 of
21 (23.8%) female lambs, is reported. Gross post-mortem examinations and
histology showed Cysticercus tenuicollis as the cause of death. Biochemical
parameters in infected lambs confirmed severe hepatitis. Praziquantel, given
once at 15mg/kg body weight (bw), was administered and a dramatic
improvement in the clinical condition and biochemical parameters was observed
up to 30 days following treatment.
