ABSTRACT
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]
