Abstract
The metacestode stage of Echinococcus multilocularis was cultured in vitro. Sensitivity of protoscoleces to the presence of albendazole sulphoxide, praziquantel and methanol was assessed. 10 micrograms/litre of praziquantel or 500 micrograms/litre of albendazole sulphoxide significantly reduced protoscolex viability. The presence of methanol (at 0.25%) had no significant effect. In vitro culture of E. multilocularis can be used to assess possible chemotherapeutic agents.Entities:
