The efficacy of ivermectin against laboratory strains of Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Nematoda)

International Journal for Parasitology

Abstract

A susceptible strain of Heligmosomoides polygyrus was selected for 15 generations with increasing doses of ivermectin (0-6 mg/kg). A passage strain was developed, parallel with the ivermectin-selected strain, to control for changes due to rapid passage from mouse to mouse. The LD50s of the 8th and 15th generations of the ivermectin-selected strain were 1.5 times that of the susceptible strain. The LD50 of the passage strain at generations 8 and 15 remained similar to that of the susceptible strain. Ivermectin efficacy was lower against the LA stage than against the adult stage in the susceptible strain, the Ivermectin-selected strain and the passage strain at generation 8.

Anthelmintics (ASM)

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
