Treatment of experimental Toxocara cati infection in mice with ivermectin and moxidectin

nr 3

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of two efficient macrocyclic lactone drugs, ivermectin, and moxidectin, on the numbers and distribution of Toxocara cati larvae in experimentally infected mice. Different post-infection periods (48 h and 7 d) and different administration methods (oral and subcutaneous) were compared. Ivermectin and moxidectin were tested (0.2 mg/kg with a single dose) for their larvicidal effects. Each mouse was infected with 1 000- embryonated eggs of T. cati. On the 10 d of the infection, the mice in each treatment group and the control group were sacrificed and the presence of T. cati larvae in various organs were determined and compared between groups. Statistically, the treatment regimens in all treatment groups were successful as compared with the controls. The worst results were achieved in the group in which ivermectin was given orally 7 d following egg inoculation. According to the decrease in total larvae recovery, oral administration of moxidectin 48 h following egg inoculation displayed the highest efficacy. The effect of ivermectin administered subcutaneously 7 d following infection was more effective than subcutaneous application of moxidectin after both 48 h and 7 d.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of praziquantel at 3.75 mg/kg b.w. and 5 mg/kg b.w. in treating Moniezia expansa and to observe the appearance of the parasite in the faeces of sheep following the treatment. Thirty-six sheep (24 male + 12 female), naturally infected with Moniezia expansa, were allocated to three groups according to the following dosage regimes: Group 1-3.75 mg/kg b.w., n = 12; Group 2-5 mg/kg b.w., n = 12; Control group, n = 12. The sheep were around 6-7 months old and weighed between 17.7 - 35 kg. Sheep were randomly divided into equal groups based on mean weight and sex. Faeces were collected after 12, 36, 60, 84, 108, 132 and 156 hours and just before slaughter (final 24 hours faeces) into faecal collection bags in the treatment groups. The collected faeces were then examined macroscopically for any parasite segments and microscopically for parasite eggs. After treatment the sheep excreted parasite segments as either normal parasite forms or deformed forms (melted and capsule or rosary forms). Equal numbers of animals (3 from each group) were slaughtered 10, 11, 12 and 13 days following treatment and their intestinal contents examined for the presence of parasites. None of the treated animals either in group1 or group 2 had strobilae or scolices of M. expansa in their intestine contents after the slaughter. In contrast, sheep in the control group had 0.5-61 ml strobilae and 1-8 scolices belonging to M. expansa, Thysaniezia giardi and Stilesia globipunctata. It was concluded that praziquantel at the dose rates used in the study was 100 % effective against Moniezia expansa.

The present study investigated the efficacy of topical selamectin for elimination of naturally acquired Trichosomoides crassicauda infection in rats. Twelve T. crassicauda-positive rats were assigned to the treatment group and six rats were assigned to the control group. Selamectin (6 mg/kg) was applied topically to the skin in a single spot at the base of the neck in front of the scapulae in the treatment group. To assess the efficacy of the treatment, animal faeces were investigated with the use of the flotation technique on days 0, 4, 14 and 24 after selamectin application. The rats of the treatment and control groups were necropsied on the day 24. In the treatment group, 7 of 12 infected rats were cured completely. Topical selamectin was found to be effective in eliminating T. crassicauda infection in rats.
