[The effect of ivermectin on reactivated somatic larva of Ancylostoma caninum Ercolani 1859 (Ancylostomidae) in the pregnant dog].
It was evaluated by means of a controlled test to what extent reactivated larvae of Ancylostoma caninum were influenced by single or double treatment with ivermectin. The investigations were done with a total of ten experimentally infected bitches. The single treatment of dams two to ten days ante partum with 0.5 mg or 1 mg ivermectin per kg bodyweight reduced the wormburden of their puppies on an average by 96.6% and 98.5%, respectively. The double treatment with 0.5 mg/kg bodyweight ante and post partum each with an interval of ten days completely prevented lactogenic infections with Ancylostoma caninum. Following a single application of 0.5 mg ivermectin per kg bodyweight the excretion of larvae was markedly delayed and remained on a low level. In addition the infections of the puppies of single treated dams became patent on an average 9.5 and 14.5 days later than the controls. In the bitches no side-effects, neither local nor general, were seen after the treatment with ivermectin. All forty puppies of the treated bitches were born without visible damages.
