Studies on anthelmintic resistance in equine parasites do not include facultative parasites. Halicephalobus gingivalis is a free-living bacterivorous nematode and a known facultative parasite of horses with a strong indication of some form of tolerance to common anthelmintic drugs. This research presents the results of an in vitro study on the anthelmintic tolerance of several isolates of Halic...

Epidemiological analyses on the preventive effect of thiabendazole as an ovicide against human helminth infections are described . Thiabendazole was mixed in night-soil once a month during a period from April to October 1964 in the control of hookworm infection, and from June 1964 to March 1966 in the control of Ascaris and Trichuris infections. The findings are as follows: (1) The rate of new ...

The generation of protective immunity by various stages in the life-cycle of Strongyloides ratti and the phases against which resistance is directed has been examined in murine strongyloidiasis. Mice were exposed to natural, complete infections, were treated with thiabendazole (which largely resembles the natural infection), were treated with cambendazole (which restricts infection to the larva...

Capillary zone electrophoresis with UV detection was applied to the simultaneous determination of thiabendazole, prochloraz and procymidone in grapes. Electrolyte conditions such as pH, composition and concentration of the buffer, addition of organic solvent and working voltage were checked to obtain a high-performance separation of the three fungicides (by measurement of separation efficiency ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the aetiology of multiple ecchymoses associated with eosinophilia. SETTING Professorial Paediatric Unit (PPU) at Lady Ridgeway Hospital (LRH) for children, Colombo. DESIGN Prospective study from July 1998 to April 2000. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients admitted to the PPU with multiple ecchymoses associated with an absolute eosinophilia (> 1 x 10(9)/1) were investig...
