Comparative efficacy of some anthelmintics against gastrointestinal nematodes in camel.

Abstract

Comparative efficacy of albendazole, fenbendazole, levamisole, tetramisole and ivermectin was evaluated in 60 dromedaries positive for mixed infection with Haemonchus longistipes, Trichostrongylus spp., Strongyloides papillosus, Nematodirus spp. and Trichuris spp. Ivermectin showed highest efficacy (98.96-99.43%) followed by albendazole (98.95-99.30%), levamisole (98.03-98.38%), fenbendazole (94.23-99.65%) and tetramisole (96.40-98.50%). Albendazole and fenbendazole did not show useful effect against Trichuris spp. but levamisole and tetramisole were effective.
