RESUMO
A total of 20 imported sheep were examined for fascioliasis natural infection by kato thick smear and by Fasciola-indirect haemagglutination test [IHAT]. Stool examination revealed infection in 13/20 [65%], but IHAT identified 11/20 [55%]. So, the sensitivity was 84.5%. Also, five species of rodents trapped within or nearby the infected sheep farm by IHAT showed positive reactions of in Rattus rattus [22.4%], R. norvegicus [16.7%], Meriones crassus [11.8%], Juculus jaculus [zero%], Acomys c. dimidiatus [9.4%], The overall positive IHA reaction was 11/143 or 14.7%. The presence of natural fascioliasis infection in imported sheep and wild rodents were discussed

In this study, 18 clinically and parasitologically proven human Dicrocoeliasis dendriticum patients were successfully and safely treated by the myrrh extract of Commiphora molmol [mirazid]. The dose was 2 capsules [300 mg each] given on an empty stomach at one hour before breakfast for six successive days; cure [100%] was achieved clinically and by stool analysis for two-month follow up. In addition, 15 sheep naturally infected with Dicrocoeliasis dendriticum as proven parasitologically were successfully and safely treated with 2 capsules [300 mg each] on an empty stomach at one hour before breakfast for four successive days; cure [100%] was successfully achieved by stool analysis for seven days and macroscopically for the detection of any adult worm after slaughtering. The total dose required to treat the infected sheep [2400 mg] was less than that required for the human treatment [3600 mg]
