Diagnosis of mucosal abnormalities in nasal cavity is efficiently by endoscopy, which is sophisticated and costly equipment available in referral units only. Conventional Borescopecould be used in the diagnosis of nasal Schistosomiasis in field level. Such a case, an application of low cost conventional Borescope was used in the diagnosis of nasal Schistosomiasis in a bullock. A 15 year old Kankeyam bullock was presented to theLarge Animal Medicine Referral Clinic with the history of anorexia, bilateral nasal discharge and snoring since 15 days. Borescopic examination revealed nodular growth in the nasal passage, further confirmed by nasal washing examination, as Schistosoma nasale. The animal was treated with Lithium antimony tartarate along with supportive care.
