Abstract

Anthelmintic efficiency of Banminth was studied on both the larval and adult stages of N. vitulorum. Baminth tartrate given to infested mice at a dose of 30 mg./kg, body weight for 3 successive days, showed an excellent activity against the migratory larvae. The efficiency was measured by counting neoascarid larvae reco vered from lung tissue and the reduction in the severity of lung lesions. Moreover single dose of 30 mg./ kg. B.W. of the same drug was found to be effective against the adult stage, both the mature and immature worms, infesting buffalo-calves. It had no lethal effect on the eggs of expelled worms.
