Comparative Study of Albendazole and Oxfendazole in the Treatment of Cystic Echinococcosis in Sheep and Goats من كتب طب بيطرى ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of albendazole and oxfendazole in the treatment of cystic echinococcosis using naturally infected sheep and goats. Fifteen animals with natural infections of cystic echinococcosis were randomly divid- ed into 3 groups of 5 animals each. Two groups were treated orally with either alben- dazole or oxfendazole at 30 mg/kg body weight twice a week for 4 weeks; a third group served as controls. Ultrasound and postmortem examination of the animals, as well as microscopic examination of proto- scoleces for eosin dye exclusion and flame cell motility, were used to determine the efficacy of the 2 drugs. Ultrasound examina- tion revealed that 4 animals in the albenda- zole group and 3 in the oxfendazole group had decreased cyst viability (P < 0.05). Intern J Appl Res Vet Med • Vol. 3, No. 2, 2005
