Notocotylidae Lühe, 1909--incidence and treatment in Macaca mulatta.
Eggs with filaments were detected in the faeces of Macaca mulatta. On the basis of morphological indications and reports from the literature, this infection was most probably caused by the genus Ogmocotyle. Egg output and the onset of diarrhoea were arrested by treatment with 20 mg fenbendazole/kg body weight for 5 days in the form of medicated feed. Follow-up studies over 9 months showed neither new egg output nor the occurrence of clinical symptoms.
