Abstract
CARBON tetrachloride and hexachloroethane are the most frequently used anthelmintics against Fasciola hepatica, the common liver fluke of sheep. These drugs are not always fully effective, and both at times produce severe toxic symptoms or death. Consequently, there remains the need for a safer and more effective agent active against liver fluke.
