Effect of ivermectin on the development of serum antibody activity in rabbits infested with Psoroptes cuniculi (Acari: Psoroptidae).
Effect of ivermectin injected subcutaneously in a single dose on the serum specific antibody activity against. Psoroptes cuniculi antigens was studied on four heavily and three weakly P. cuniculi infested rabbits. It has been shown that ivermectin enhanced the production of the specific antibody, especially in weakly infested rabbits. The serum specific antibody activity in both heavily and weakly infested rabbits reached the peak levels on fifth after injection of ivermectin.
