Sensitivity of isolates of Trichinella to the drug thiabendazole
The sensitivity of three isolates of Trichinella spiralis (from pig, polar bear, and wolverine) and T. spiralis var. pseudospiralis to the anthelmintic thiabendazole (TBZ) was studied in male CD-1 mice. In vitro larval release by female worms isolated on day 7 following drug treatment (2–7 days) wit...
