چکیده
Because some antibiotics have proved active in certain parasitic infections, there appears to be good prospect that this rapidly growing and meagerly tested class of chemotherapeutic agents (there are already some 4,000 known antibiotics!) will some day provide efficient treatments for some of the parasitic diseases of livestock and poultry.

Except in the case of parasites present in the intestinal canal it was essential that the chemotherapeutic drug should be absorbed into the body, that it should penetrate to the site where the parasites were acting, and that it should not be excreted or converted into an inert ...
