In preliminary trials, all drugs were supplied to infected fish at 40 g per kg of feed for 10 d. Twenty-two of the drugs tested (aminosidine, amprolium, benznidazole, b~thionol,chloroquine, diethylcarbamazine, flubendazole, levamisole, mebendazole, n~etronidazole,mclosamide, nitroxynil, oxibendazole, parbendazole, piperazine, praziquantel, roni- dazole, secnidazole, tetramisole, thiophanate, toltrazuril and trichlorfon) were ineffective Triclabenda- zole and nitroscanate completely eliminated the infection. Triclabendazole was effective only at the screening dosage (40 g per kg of feed for 10 d), while nitroscanate was effective at dosages as low as 0.6 g per kg of feed for 1 d.

  • Anthelmintics Are Drugs Used to Treat Parasitic Infections Due to Worms
    “ANTHEMINTICS" Presented By Mr.Ghule A.V. Assistant Professor, MES’S,College Of Pharmacy,Sonai. INTRODUCTION Helminth means worms. Helminthiasis is an infections caused by parasitic worms. Anthelmintics are drugs used to treat parasitic infections due to worms. Anthelmintics act through two mechanism . Vermicide (kill) used to kill parasitic intestinal worms. Vermifuge (expel) used to destroy or expel worms in the intestine. Helminths are 3 types Nematodes (round worms) - ascarids (Ascaris), filarias, hookworms, pinworms (Enterobius), and whipworms (Trichuris trichiura) Cestodes (tape worms) - multiple species of flat worms, Taenia saginatum, Taenia solium(cysticercosis, hydatid(echinococcus), Trematodes (flukes) – liver flukes, lung flukes, schistosoma BASED ON CHEMICAL STRUCTURES Benzimidazoles : Albendazole , Mebendazole ,Flubendazole, Cyclobendazole Thiabendazole, Fenbendazole, Oxibendazole, Parbendazole Quinolines and isoquinolines [Heterocyclics]: Oxamniquine, Praziquantel Piperazine derivatives: Piperazine citrate, Diethyl carbamazine Vinyl pyrimidines: Pyrantel pamoate, Oxantel Amides : Niclosamide Natural products: Ivermectin Organo phosphorus: Metrifonate Imidazothiazoles: Levamisole Nitro derivatives: Niridazol BENZIMIDAZOLES Benzimidazole is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound.

A Review of the Veterinary Anthelmintic Literature A comprehensive review was undertaken of the pharmacology, efficacy, side effects and toxicity of veterinary anthelmintics used against nematode parasites. Anthelmintics reviewed for use in cattle, sheep, goats, horses, dogs and cats include copper, nicotine, arsenic, tetrachlorethylene, phenothiazine, diethylcarbamazine, piperazine, toluene, cyacethydrazide, bephenium, thenium, organophosphates, and methyridine. The review was limited to cattle for the benzimidazoles, pyrantel, morantel, tetramisole, levamisole, avermectin and milbemycins anthelmintics. Efficacy data is provided in a tabular format which classifies each anthelmintic according to method of administration and dose. PART2 Efficacy of two formulations of moxidectin pour-on and the effects of treatment on serum pepsinogen and gastrin levels and tissue gastrin in cattle Three groups of eight yearling Friesian bulls were used to compare the efficacy of two 5 g/L pour-on formulations of moxidectin applied at 1ml/10kg (500 mcg moxidectin per kg bodyweight) in removing naturally acquired gastrointestinal parasites. At slaughter, 14-16 days after treatment, the burdens of Ostertagia spp. and Trichostrongylus axei were significantly lower in both the treated groups versus the controls (P<0.01 ).
