The response of nematodes <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> to some anthelmintics

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 brasillensis to detect anthelmintics in vitro is reported.
