While the medications are typically the same in treatment, the treatment protocol is different. Gill flukes are livebearers, while body flukes are egg layers. Add to the confusion, body flukes can and will infest the gills.
And one last thing I would like you to clarify, the proper use of salt. It seems like everytime someone posts to the disease section, the first few posts to come back are add salt this add salt that. Salt, IMHO, should be treated as a medication, and what we are eventually (if not already) going to do is develope salt resistant strains of everything. This is especially true when "shotgunning" salt with additional medications at the same time, which often times contradict each other in terms of the mode of operation.
