  • Title: A critical efficacy test of cambendazole in equids: the use of the geometric means to assess efficacy.
    Author: Louw JP, Meyer S, Schröder J.
    Journal: J S Afr Vet Assoc; 1980 Dec; 51(4):259-61. PubMed ID: 7017145.
    Abstract:
    The anthelmintic efficacy of a 44.5% paste formulation of cambendazole was evaluated in a critical trial performed on 5 horses and a donkey. A dosage of 20 mg/kg showed reduction of mean parasite burdens as follows: Strongylinae greater than 99%; Cyathostominae 94%; immature and adult Oxyuris equi 89 and greater than 99%; Probstmayria vivipara greater than 99% and Habronema muscae 97%. Parascaris equorum and Anoplocephala perfoliata were present in small numbers in individual animals only, and while all were removed by treatment, the small numbers did not justify calculation of a percentage efficacy for these 2 parasites.
