[1] The clinical symptoms in cattle include a cauliflower-like growth or granuloma in the nasal cavity, associated with a "snoring" sound and profuse mucopurulent discharge.
Recently, Dr. M. C. Agrawal has successfully treated cases of nasal schistosomiasis by administering triclabendazole.
Nevertheless, there are all chances of killing susceptible blood flukes by these less effective drugs resulting in existence of more resistant schistosome population in future generations causing more problems.
[citation needed] Schistosoma nasale was identified in 1933 by Maharaj Anant Narayanan Rao (1875–1940) at Madras Veterinary College, Tamil Nadu, India, as a causative agent for "snoring disease" in cattle.
[7] Snails initially implicated in transmission of Schistosoma nasale as the first intermediate host included Lymnaea luteola and Lymnaea acuminata, but experimental work of Dutt and Srivastava (1962) conclusively proved Indoplanorbis exustus as the sole intermediate host of S.
