Abstract
Abstract Extract Theoretically, the life-cycle of the sheep metacestodes with their strobilate phase in dogs permits combinations of at least three methods of control. These are the prevention of dogs gaining access to larval cestodes, the chemical elimination of the strobilate and or the larval stage in the appropiate hosts, and the immunization of either the definitive or intermediate hosts or both. The first approach using arecoline hydrobromide primarilv as a diagnostic agent has reduced the prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus (Gemmell, 1968). However, it did not markedly reduce the prevalence rate of Taenia hydatigena and may have been indirectly associated with an increase in that of Taenia ovis.
