[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.

[Pathomorphological studies of experimental echinococcosis in sheep].

Histopathologic investigations in dynamic (from the 3rd up to the 15th month of infection) were carried out on echinococcus cysts and viscera (liver, lungs, spleen, and respective lymph nodes) of sheep with an experimental infection of Echinococcus granulosus.
