1994

Efficacy of abamectin against gastrointestinal tract nematodes and lungworms of cattle was determined in 4 experiments. The first 2 experiments were controlled trials in which efficacy was determined at necropsy in calves with either experimentally induced (n = 14) or naturally acquired (n = 16) infections. Half the calves in each experiment were treated with abamectin (200 micrograms/kg of body weight, sc), and half were left untreated as controls. Efficacy was > 99% against adult stages of Dictyocaulus viviparus, Haemonchus placei, Ostertagia ostertagi, Trichostrongylus axei, Cooperia punctata, Trichuris discolor, and C oncophora, and was 92.4% against Nematodirus helvetianus. The second 2 experiments were clinical trials in which efficacy was determined by fecal egg count reduction in naturally infected yearling heifers (n = 75) or 2-year-old heifers (n = 75). Within replicates of 5, 4 heifers were assigned at random to treatment with 200 Kg of abamectin/kg and 1 was left untreated as a control. Abamectin was 100% effective in eliminating strongylate nematode eggs from the feces of these heifers. In all experiments, adverse reactions were limited to small, clinically unimportant injection site swellings in 29% of abamectin-treated calves. Abamectin was judged to be safe and effective in these trials.

1994
Yazwinski, T.A. | Featherston, H. | Tucker, C.
Anthelmintic efficacy of doramectin, a macrocyclic lactone of the avermectin family, was evaluated against larval parasitic nematodes in calves. The investigational product was given sc at a dosage of 0.2 mg/kg of body weight to 10 calves infected 6 days previously with third-stage larvae of the genera Haemonchus, Ostertagia, Cooperia, and Nematodirus. Ten additional calves with identical larval exposure were given saline solution SC also at 6 days after inoculation, and served as the nonmedicated controls. At 14 or 15 days after treatment, the calves were slaughtered in complete replicate for nematode recovery and subsequent quantifications. In comparing nematode numbers at necropsy for the saline- and doramectin-treated groups, nematocidal effectiveness as directed against fourth-stage larvae was: 100% for Haemonchus placei and Cooperia spp, > 99% for Ostertagia ostertagi, and 64.5% for Nematodirus helvetianus. All treatments were easily administered, and adverse behavioral or tissue reactions were not seen to result from doramectin administration.

nematodes of ruminants, large scale technique for recovery of worms migrating from gastro-intestinal ingesta gelled in agar, significantly more male than female worms failed to migrate, L4 stages generally migrated more efficiently than did adult worms, some genera migrated more efficiently than others, applications for use in quantitative worm recovery such as in anthelmintic testing
