  • Title: A cost-effective and efficacious method of pinworm treatment for large colonies of mice.
    Author: Hickman D, Swan M, Hartman GP.
    Journal: Lab Anim (NY); 2008 Jul; 37(7):308-12. PubMed ID: 18568009.
    Abstract:
    Rodent pinworm infestations are common in modern animal facilities, and treatments to eradicate these nematodes are often costly and labor-intensive. The authors describe a method they developed to treat rodents with ivermectin using the automatic watering system available at their facility. This delivery method proved an efficacious and cost-effective means of eradicating Aspiculuris tetraptera from a large colony of mice. The system might also be used to provide other orally administered agents to mice and other species.
