dc.description.abstractEffects of praziquantel (a compound for trematode and cestode control in dogs) on metacercarial cysts of Centrocestus sp. (a digenetic trematode: Family Heterophyidae) occurring on the gills of goldfish Carassius auratus were investigated by oral and bath treatments. Praziquantel incorporated to the feed at a dose of 200 ppm for 7 days (feed ration of 3% of the body weight/day) was effective in killing 94% ±3.8 of metacercariae. Bath treatment with 0.75 ppm killed only 49% ± 5.2 of metacercariae; dosages higher than 0.75 ppm stressed the fish. Mortality recorded for the control group of fish over a period of 6 weeks was 89% ± 2.8, while the recorded mortality for fish that received oral and bath treatments over the same period of time was 7.3% ± 0.7 and 22.3% ± 1.7 respectively. Results revealed that oral administration of praziquantel is more effective in killing metacercariae of Centrocestus sp.en
