    Author: Mendoza-de Gives P, Nájera Fuentes R, Herrera-Rodríguez D, Roncalli RA.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1987 Nov; 48(11):1611-2. PubMed ID: 3434907.
    Abstract:
    Anthelmintic efficacy of ivermectin against Mecistocirrus digitatus was evaluated in 10 naturally infected zebu calves. Group 1 (n = 5) was not treated, and group 2 (n = 5) was treated SC with 200 micrograms of ivermectin/kg of body weight. Calves were euthanatized 14 or 15 days after treatment. There was 100% overall reduction of M digitatus in treated calves, which was significant (P = 0.0079) compared with reduction in controls. Cooperia punctata, Haemonchus similis, and Trichostrongylus axei were found in controls. Efficacy against these parasites in treated calves was 100%.
