Abstract
C h rous t K.: Efficacy afAlbellda:ole agaillsr MOllie:ia spp. ill Sheep and Caule. Acta vet. Srno. 1998.67: 175-181. The paper presents results of the anthelmintic efficacy verification of albendazole in sheep and cattle naturally infected by tapeworms MOllie:ia npansa and M. belledelli. We tested the dose of 5 mg per I kg of body weight applied as a 2.5'7c suspension in sheep. One hundred percent efficacy of this dose was proved both in a controlled test on 12 lambs and in field studies on two tlocks of ewes and lambs (amounting to 380 and 420 individuals) in which we invariably evaluated groups of 30 treated and 30 untreated control individuals using quantitative ovoscopic methods. We also studied the dynamics of the monieziosis prevalence in a tlock ono sheep of all age categories and performed dev.Ofming using albendazole during peak infections in 1995 to 1997. Even in cases when there was a quick and repeated rise of the infection during the pasture period. the application of albendazole decreased ovoscopic findings to zero values and to considerably low prevalence in the second and third year of our study. The occurrence of monieziosis in cattle was nearly sporadic and the application of albendazole in the dose of7.5 mg per I kg of body weight was I OO'7e effective when given to individual animals as a suspension. Mass application using medicated feeds did not ensure appropriate intake of therapeutic doses in all animals treated. Monieziosis is an important health problem particularly of sheep in the Czech Republic and albendazole may be considered as a drug of choice.
Highlights
The paper presents results of the anthelmintic efficacy verification of albendazole in sheep and cattle naturally infected by tapeworms MOllie:ia npansa and M. belledelli
Chroust (1973) found high. practically 100C)'c efficacy of resorantel (Terenol Hoechst AG) in the dose of 65 mg per I kg of body weight in lambs e naturally infected by M. expallsa and M. belledeni. 0 a n k et al (\ 977) verified the piperazine salt of niclosamide produced by Bayer and called Taenifugin gran. in sheep and young cattle
The nic10samide was used with 100% efficacy in controlling the mass occurrence of monieziosis leading to high mortality in roe deer in the area of South Moravia (Forejtek and Chroust 1990)
Summary
The paper presents results of the anthelmintic efficacy verification of albendazole in sheep and cattle naturally infected by tapeworms MOllie:ia npansa and M. belledelli. It was applied as a medicated feed in the dose of 90 mg per I kg of body weight and 100Ck efficacy both during controlled tests and field studies with regards to the extensity and intensity was achieved. The nic10samide was used with 100% efficacy in controlling the mass occurrence of monieziosis leading to high mortality in roe deer in the area of South Moravia (Forejtek and Chroust 1990) It was applied as medicated feeds in the dose of 100 mg per I kg of body weight. The albendazole efficacy verification was performed using a controlled test in lambs and field studies on sheep and cattle of all age categories naturally infected by tapeworms M. expallsa and M. belledelli
