Prophylactic activity of imidocarb against experimental infection with Babesia canis.
A single subcutaneous injection of imidocarb at 6 mg kg-1 gave 2 weeks protection against experimental inoculation of Babesia canis merozoites in Beagle dogs. The prophylactic effect was evaluated by daily measurements of parasitaemia, rectal temperature, haematological values and specific antibodies.
