Leishmania donovani, dogs (exper.), liposome-encapsulated meglumine antimoniate (LEMA) vs. unencapsulated meglumine antimoniate, LEMA was 700 times more efficacious than the encapsulated drug, liposomes can markedly reduce the drug dosage required for equivalent treatment of visceral leishmaniasis

Amblyomma hebraeum, percentage and rate of female attachment to rabbits was higher (except shortly after release of females) around feeding males than in areas previously treated with extract of fed males, effect of elapsed time and of number of males vs. equivalent extract on attachment values, results prove bioassays to be valid for component and extract-equivalent assessment

nematodes, lambs, 11 anthelmintics compared using medicated feeds or multiple small doses

Haematobia thirouxi potans, two methods described for laboratory rearing, adult flies can be fed either on a bovine calf or on bovine blood in vitro

techniques to locate lesions and recover developmental stages of helminths from equine arteries, subperitoneum, liver, and lungs postmortem

Strongylus vulgaris, establishment of patent infections in 6 of 8 helminth-free ponies given adult worms via nasogastric tube, removal of worms from cecum and ventral colon of donor horses, initial appearance of eggs in feces and maximum egg counts of recipients, percentage survival of adults after intragastric inoculation determined at necropsy

improved method for recovery of ascarid and other nematode eggs from soil, emphasis on Baylisascaris procyonis and Toxocara cati

Boophilus microplus engorged females stored at 4 C for up to 5 days and females kept at room temperature for 1 day and then at 4 C for 1 day showed no significant differences in their response to an organophosphate (dioxathion) as determined by the Drummond adult test

intestinal parasites, dogs, prevalence, sex of host and neutering procedure, age of host, mixed infections, diagnosis by fecal examination

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
