Abstract

The efficacy of eight anthelmintics against Ancylostoma caninum larvae in the skeletal muscles of mice was evaluated. Levamisole (5 × 40 mg kg), thiabendazole (5 × 400mg kg), oxfendazole (5 × 100mg kg), albendazole (5× 1OOmg kg), flubendazole (5 × 200 mg kg), benacil (5 × 200 mg kg) and phenacizole (5 × 200mg kg) showed marked larvicidal activity (98 to 99%). Sch 18099 did not show larvicidal activity even at 5×400 mg kg.
