[Cochlosomosis, a problem in raising waxbills kept in aviaries (author's transl)].
A flagellate, (Cochlosoma sp.) in the intestines of waxbills caused disease and death, particularly in the younger birds. Disturbance of the intestines was the characteristic clinical symptom. Treatment with Emtryl (Specia, 40% dimetridazole), 250 mg. per litre of drinking water for three days, was effective.
