Description Present communication reports the neurological manifestations as head shaking in cattle with Schistosoma nasale infection. Cattle showed bilateral nasal discharges, dyspnoea and head shaking with flipping of head, rubbing of muzzle on the objectives. Nasal scrapings examined under a microscope revealed distinctive boomerang shaped eggs with a terminal spine, confirming the diagnosis of Schistosoma nasale infection. The cattle were treated with three injections of anthiomaline in combination with symptomatic and supportive medications. Clinical improvement was observed by the tenth day of treatment, and the head shaking resolved completely.
