PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Nonetheless, incoming animals from pasture environments may be infected. Liver flukes can be treated with the anthelmintic clorsulon or albendazole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lung fluke infections are treated with praziquantel, a drug used to eliminate flukes from the body (called an anthelmintic drug). An alternative is triclabendazole. If the brain is infected, corticosteroids may also be given. They help control the inflammation that develops when the drug kills the flukes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Treatment. Triclabendazole is effective at killing all stages of triclabendazole-susceptible flukes from two weeks old. Cattle may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 56 days from last treatment. Do not administer to cows producing milk for human consumption.

Detailed explanation-4: -Treatment of liver flukes in cattle comes down to a few flukicides; albendazole (Valbazen), corsulon (Ivomec Plus), and triclabendazole (Fasinex 240, United Kingdom). The first two flukicides are only effective against mature adult liver flukes.
