title: The efficacy of some newer broad spectrum anthelmintics against third-stage larvae of Ancylostoma caninum in the mouse.
abstract: The efficacy of eight anthelmintics against Ancylostoma caninum larvae in the skeletal muscles of mice was evaluated. Levamisole (5 X 40 mg/kg), thiabendazole (5 X 400 mg/kg), oxfendazole (5 X 100 mg/kg), albendazole (5 X 100 mg/kg), flubendazole (5 X 200 mg/kg), benacil (5 X 200 mg/kg) and phenacizole (5 X 200 mg/kg) showed marked larvicidal activity (98 to 99%). Sch 18099 did not show larvicidal activity even at 5 X 400 mg/kg.
