Abstract
Tribolium confusum parasitized by Hymenolepis diminuta were allowed to feed on mixtures composed of 0.005 to 20 g of mebendazole (Telmin: methyl-5-benzoyl benzimidazole-2-carbamate) in 10 g of flour from day 1 (24 h) to day 9 post infection. Retarded cysticercoid development, lowered incidence of infection, and reductions in the number of cysticercoids recovered per beetle were produced by drug levels of 0.1, 1.0, and 10 g respectively. None of the drug concentrations tested produced 100% mortality, and developing cysticercoids varied considerably in their tolerance of mebendazole.
