Abstract
When 1000 slaughter cattle were examined particularly for liver flukes and hydatid cysts, 34 and 30% respectively were found. A statistically significant interference occurred between the 2 parasites in the livers, i.e., the presence of 1 reduced the frequency of the other. Information is given on numbers, sizes and state of hydatid cysts in lungs and livers.Keywords
