Preliminary observations on the effect of Dictyocaulus filaria on the blood clotting time of sheep.
The whole blood clotting time progressively increased from the second to the eighth week in lambs receiving a primary infection of Dictyocaulus filaria larvae. However, in vaccinated lambs it remained unaffected. Levamisole hydrochloride was ineffective when given 4 days after infection but restored the blood clotting time to near normal soon after treatment when it was given 30 days after infection.
