NATARAJAN, P. N., ZAMAN V. & YEOH T. S. 1973. In vitro activity of diethylcarbamazine on the infective larvae, microfilariae and adult worms of Breinlia sergenti. International Journal for Parasitology. 3: 803-807. The action of diethylcarbamazine, on the infective larvae, the microfilariae and the adult worms of Breinlia sergenti, occurring in slow loris (Nycticebus coucang) is described. The drug immobilized all the three stages of the parasite. In the case of the adult worms an initial increase in the tone of the musculature followed by flaccid paralysis was observed. INDEX

متن کاملRepurposing Auranofin as a Lead Candidate for Treatment of Lymphatic Filariasis and Onchocerciasis
Two major human diseases caused by filariid nematodes are onchocerciasis, or river blindness, and lymphatic filariasis, which can lead to elephantiasis. The drugs ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine (DEC), and albendazole are used in control programs for these diseases, but are mainly effective against the microfilarial stage and have minimal or no effect on adult worms. Adult Onchocerca volvulus an...
