title: Effect of cambendazole and haloxon on the carbohydrate metabolism of Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinae (Nematoda).
abstract: Cambendazole 10(-4) M significantly reduced the level of glycogen in both the parasites. Lactic acid level was found enhanced. Oxygen consumption was suppressed by 63 and 94% in A. galli and H. gallinae, respectively, by 10(-4) M cambendazole. Haloxon did not cause any significant change in glycogen and lactic acid level in either parasite, but reduced oxygen consumption by 23 and 31% in Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinae, respectively.
