Abstract
Two human cases with dicrocoeliasis dendriticum were successfully treated one with Praziquantel (25mg/kg 3 times daily after meals, for four successive days) and second with Mirazid (2 capsules of 300 mg. each, daily an hour before breakfast, for six successive days) as indicated clinically and parasitologically. On the other hand, one imported sheep and two locally bred goats naturally infected with D. dendriticum were successfully treated with Oleo-resin solution (dose of 6 ml of 10 gm% equal to 2 Mirazid capsules before breakfast) per os once daily for four successive days. The animals were slaughtered on 5th day. Mirazid (capsule or Oleo-resin solution) was effective against dicrocoeliasis in man and animal respectively.
