  • Title: The ovicidal effect of selected chemicals against eggs of Echinococcus granulosus.
    Author: Pérez-Esandi MV, Colli CW, Schantz PM.
    Journal: Bull World Health Organ; 1974; 51(5):550-1. PubMed ID: 4219296.
    Abstract:
    The ovicidal activity of various chemicals against eggs of E. granulosus was evaluated by measuring infectivity to CF(1) mice after exposing the eggs to aqueous solutions of the chemicals for 1 h at room temperature. Significant reductions in infectivity were observed in eggs treated with Lugol's iodine, 0.015% ammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 70% ethanol, or 5% or 10% glutaraldehyde. No cysts developed in 10 mice that received doses of 1 000 eggs treated with 5% glutaraldehyde, and only 1 of 10 mice developed cysts after exposure to eggs treated with 10% glutaraldehyde.
