Abstract
Praziquantel injectable formulation was administered at 0.5 mg kg(-1) per os to 24 equids naturally infected with 1-183 (average 40) Anoploc ephala perfoliata. Drug activity was evaluated by a modified critical test method with necropsy 24 h after treatment. There was variable eff icacy of 0-100% (aggregate average 85%); for 18 equids, 93-100%, for t hree equids, 70-85%, and for three equids, 0-20%.
