Trop Anim Health Prod. 1988 Feb;20(1):19-22. doi: 10.1007/BF02239638.

Abstract

Cattle naturally infected with nasal schistosomiasis were treated with a single oral dose of praziquantel at 20 mg/kg body weight. The drug was highly effective causing a considerable reduction in egg counts, cessation of clinical signs and progressive regression of the nasal granulomatous growths.
