Studies on Imidocarb dihyrochloride in experimental Babesia bigemina infection in calves

An outbreak of Babesia bovis infection in cattle and its control

Immune control of Babesia bovis infection.

Babesia bovis causes an acute and often fatal infection in adult cattle, which if resolved, leads to a state of persistent infection in otherwise clinically healthy cattle. Persistently infected cattle are generally resistant to reinfection with related parasite strains, and this resistance in the face of infection is termed concomitant immunity. Young animals are generally more resistant than ...

Studies on imidocarb dihydrochloride in experimental Babesia bigemina infection in calves.

Four chemotherapeutic trials in Iran with the babesicide 3,3-bis(2-imidazoline-2-yl) carbanilide dihydrochloride (Imidocarb dihydrochloride) are reported. Subcutaneous administration at a dose of l mg/kg proved highly effective in controlling experimental infection with a local virulent strain of Babesia bigemina in calves. While treated calves were apparently sterilized of the infection, they ...

Comparative efficacy of tulathromycin and tildipirosin for the treatment of experimental Mycoplasma bovis infection in calves

The objective of this negative controlled, blinded, randomised, parallel group study was to compare the efficacy of two injectable macrolide antimicrobials, tulathromycin and tildipirosin, administered by single subcutaneous injection at dose rates of 2.5 and 4.0 mg kg-1 bodyweight, respectively, in the treatment of an experimentally induced Mycoplasma bovis infection in calves. A total of 238 ...
