Fenbendazole and praziquantel resistance in Moniezia expansa in Jamunapari goat kids

Abstract

Five Jamunapari goat kids of 3-4 months weighing 5-7 kg were reported with the history of inappetence, diarrhoea and cachexia. Haematological and biochemical examination revealed anaemia and Hypoalbuminemia. On faecal examination infection of Moniezia expansa was confirmed. Here we reported a chronic case of Moniezia expansa was resistant to fenbendazole and praziquantel but responded on single dose of Albendazole and niclosamide combination.
