Abstract

Dietary feeding of drugs for 5 days to mice infected with Nematospiroides dubius and Hymenolepis nana detected all modern anthelmintics examined except stilbazium. A simple test using eggs of Nematodirus spathiger and adult Nippostrongylus brasiliensis to detect anthelmintics in vitro is reported.
