Abstract

Nervous disorders related to coenurus cerebralis infestation were observed in 13 sheep. Radiographical diagnosis of the disease was done and the haematological findings were reported in all affected animals. Surgical removal of the parasitic cysts was only carried out on 7 sheep and the surgical procedure adopted for removal of the cysts was given. In addition, post-mortem and histopathological findings observed in 6 moribund, slaughtered sheep were fully described and discussed.
