[Intravital diagnosis of intestinal echinococcosis in dogs under field conditions]

Studies were carried out with regard to the diagnosis of intestinal echinococcosis in dogs as the definitive host when still alive, under field conditions. Effective worming and macrohelminthoscopy in such conditions resulted in 52.36 per cent effect. The value found for the average percent of the overall effect of treatment was close to the real values found for the helminthologic status of intestinal echinococcosis. The method employed minimized the epidemiologic and epizootiologic hazards. It was shown to be economically effective and readily applicable.
