The efficacy of cambendazole against cestode infestations in lambs.
The anthelmintic efficacy of cambendazole dosed orally at 20 mg/kg live mass was determined against naturally acquired cestode infestations in lambs. The anthelmintic was completely effective against both Moniezia spp. and Avitellina centripunctata. Difficulties in ascertaining the presence of infestations with the latter species in the living animal are discussed.
