A single oral treatment with mebendazole for the control of Taenia crassiceps larval infections in rats. International Journal for Parasitology 9: 73-76. Rats infected with Taenia crassiceps larvae were treated with mebendazole. At a sublethal dose level of 50 mg/kg, a single large oral treatment proved to be markedly more effective in killing cysts than the same amount of drug divided into 10 daily smaller doses. Levamisole promoted a vigorous host cellular response to the intraperitoneal cysts, but when incorporated with mebendazole, it did not enhance the action of the latter drug. © 1979.
