    Author: Scholl PJ, Chapman MR, French DD, Klei TR.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 1998 Jun; 84(3):656-7. PubMed ID: 9645883.
    Abstract:
    In a trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of the recommended dosage of moxidectin 2% oral gel against the gastric stages of Gasterophilus spp., 14 ponies were selected from a herd on the basis of the inclusion criterion of the presence of Gasterophilus spp. eggs attached to their hair coats. After random allocation, the ponies were treated with 1 of 2 treatments, moxidectin 2% equine gel in a single dose at the commercial dosage of 400 microg moxidectin/kg body weight or placebo gel. The animals were necropsied 14 days posttreatment. Efficacies against second- and third-instar Gasterophilus intestinalis De Geer were 100% and 99.5%, respectively.
