Abstract

Two further trials are reported on the effect of fenbendazole on inhibited Ostertagia ostertagi larvae. In the first trial fenbendazole successfully eliminated inhibited burdens of O ostertagi, while in the second trial the effect was variable. As a result of these trials and previous reports it is concluded that a single oral dose of fenbendazole cannot be relied upon to prevent winter (type 2) ostertagiasis.
