Abstract
The anthelmintic effects of flubendazole (methyl [5-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-1-H-benzimidazol-2-yl] carbamate) (Janssen Pharmaceutica) were evaluated in jirds (Meriones unguiculatus) and cats (Felis cattus) infected with Brugia pahangi. Flubendazole was macrofilaricidal at 5 x 2.5 mg/kg and 1 x 25 mg/kg in jirds and 1 x 100 mg/kg in cats when administered by subcutaneous injection. It also killed developing larvae in jirds. It was not microfilaricidal.Entities:
