Abstract
The etiology, distribution, epidemiology, clinical signs, pathology, diagnosis, treatment and control of four important helminth diseases of cattle, namely, hemonchiasis, osteragiasis, dictyocauliasis and fascioliasis are reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the epidemiology, immunity and chemical methods available for preventing these diseases.
The distribution, epidemiology, diagnosis and control of bovine cysticercosis and toxocariasis are also discussed.
