Intermittent Thiabendazole Treatments
نویسنده
چکیده
A group of seven ponies naturally infected with large numbers of small strongyles and raised under conditions to minimize reinfection were treated periodically over a three year span with thiabendazole at the rate of 44 mg/kg body weight. Based on the absence of worm eggs in the feces following each treatment, thiabendazole removed the adult strongyles present with a new population subsequently developing by maturation of inhibited larvae. It took as many as four or five treatments to eliminate or reduce significantly the worm burdens present in the ponies under the conditions of this study. Strongyle eggs started to reappear in the feces about six weeks after treatment and following the first treatment the mean egg counts rose to the pretreatment level. On successive treatments the interval for worm eggs to appear in the feces lengthened and mean egg counts never rose quite as high as immediate pretreatment levels. Hematological changes were not marked, although a small steady increase in the mean hemoglobin values and an equivalent small decrease in the mean eosinophil counts occurred in all ponies following each successive treatment. The study supports the rationale of regular anthelmintic treatment of horses in that even in the absence of reinfection, new burdens of adult worms develop following treatment.

Survey of fungicide resistance of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from different avocado production areas
Registered treatments for the control of avocado anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum goeosporioides are post-harvest applications of prochloraz and thiabendazole. Pre-harvest treatments to reduce inoculum levels in the field are also an important factor for successful anthracnose disease control. Pre-harvest application of benomyl was previously registered for this purpose, although at this st...

‘Star Ruby’ grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) were harvested from November through June and subjected to a 3-min dip in water at room temperature (20°C) with or without 1200 or 200 mg/l imazalil (IMZ) or thiabendazole (TBZ) at 50°C. Fruit were then stored at 2°C and 90–95% relative humidity (RH) for 6 weeks and 1 additional week at 20°C and approximately 80% RH to simulate a marketing period (...

Poor efficacy of the most commonly used anthelmintics in sport horse nematodes in Morocco in relation to resistance.
Sport and leisure horses in Morocco are treated with several anthelmintics, organophosphates (dichlorvos), benzimidazoles (mostly thiabendazole) or tetrahydropyrimidines (mostly pyrantel pamoate) against nematodes. We studied three horse stables in Rabat, one in Meknes and one in Bouznika. Two of the Rabat and Bouznika stables had introduced a large number of horses from countries (Argentina or...
