Traitement au closantel d’agneaux infestés naturellement par des paramphistomes ( Calicophoron daubneyi ) immatures
2016
Few data are available on the treatment of the disease associated with the immature form of Calicophoron daubneyi . To study the efficacy of closantel in this infestation, ten lambs were kept for 42 days on a plot known to be infested by C. daubneyi and were then divided into two groups, control and treatment. They were autopsied seven to ten days after treatment. Parasites in the duodenum were counted by differentiating free and intramucosal forms. The decrease in free parasites (61%) was highly variable and not significant. However, the decrease in the number of intramucosal parasites (56%) was highly significant (p = 0.002). As intramucosal larvae are pathogenic, closantel could be used to treat newly infested animals.
