  • efficacy of emodepside plus toltrazuril oral suspension for dogs procox bayer against trichuris vulpis in naturally infected dogs
    Parasitology Research, 2013
    Co-Authors: Gabriele Petry, Gertraut Altreuther, Sonja Wolken, Petro Swart, Dawid J Kok
    Abstract:

    The efficacy of emodepside plus toltrazuril oral suspension for dogs (Procox®, Bayer) against Trichuris vulpis was evaluated in a controlled, blinded and randomised laboratory study. Twenty naturally infected dogs were included. Dogs in the treatment group received the minimum therapeutic dose of 0.45 mg emodepside and 9 mg toltrazuril per kg body weight, while dogs in the control group were left untreated. Efficacy was calculated based on worm counts after necropsy on Day 7 post treatment. Additionally, all faeces were collected and examined for expelled worms. The treatment was 100 % effective. A total of 233 adult worms (geometric mean 17.0) and 3 immature adult worms were found in the control group at necropsy. Adequacy of infection was demonstrated. The treated group excreted a total of 186 adult worms within 2 days after treatment. Additionally, all dogs were co-infected with Uncinaria stenocephala. Efficacy against this parasite was 99.8 %. No side effects of the treatment were observed. This study demonstrates that in addition to the formerly proven efficacy against Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala, emodepside plus toltrazuril suspension is also effective against T. vulpis and thus represents a convenient treatment option for dogs co-infected with whipworms and coccidia.

    Abstract:

    The efficacy of emodepside plus toltrazuril (Procox® oral suspension for dogs) against different species of gastrointestinal nematodes (Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala) was evaluated in nine randomised,blinded and placebo-controlled laboratory studies in naturally or experimentally infected dogs. The product was used at the proposed minimum dose of 0.45 mg emodepside and 9 mg toltrazuril per kg body weight. Efficacy was calculated based on worm counts after necropsy. Worm burdens in the control dogs ranged between 0 and 409 worms of the respective stage for T. canis and between 4 and 655 worms for hookworms. The studies demonstrated 100 % efficacy of emodepside/toltrazuril suspension against mature adult, ≥ 94.7 %efficacy against immature adult and 99.3 % efficacy against the L4 larval stage of T. canis. The efficacy against mature adult A. caninum was ≥ 99.5 % and the efficacy against mature adult U. stenocephala was 100 %. All differences between treatment and control groups were statistically significant and no gender effect was found. It can be concluded that the emodepside/toltrazuril suspension represents a safe and highly effective product in dogs with nematode (T. canis, hookworms) infection.

    Co-Authors: Annette Schimmel, Gertraut Altreuther, Iris Schroeder, Samuel Charles, Dawid J Kok, Jennifer Ketzis, Larry Cruthers, Friederike Kraemer, John W. Mccall, Klemens J. Krieger
    Abstract:

    This paper reports the efficacy of a novel flavoured tablet formulation of emodepside plus praziquantel (Profender® tablets for dogs) against mature and immature adult hookworms ( Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala ) in dogs. The tablets were used at the minimum recommended dose of 1 mg emodepside and 5 mg praziquantel per kg body weight. Four randomised, blinded and controlled laboratory studies demonstrated >95% efficacy against mature and immature adult stages of U. stenocephala and four randomised, blinded and controlled laboratory studies demonstrated >98% efficacy against mature and immature adult stages of A. caninum . No side effects of the treatment were observed. It is concluded that the emodepside plus praziquantel tablet is an effective and safe treatment against mature and immature hookworms.

  • Helminth fauna of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes Linnaeus, 1758) in southern Belarus.
    Parasitology research, 2002
    Co-Authors: V. Shimalov
    Abstract:

    We examined 94 carcasses of and 1,213 faecal samples from red foxes collected between 1981 and 2001 in natural and transformed ecosystems in the southern part of Belarus. A total of 32 helminth species were found. Of these, the most common were Alaria alata, Pearsonema plica, Taenia crassiceps, Toxocara canis, Trichinella spp. larvae and Uncinaria stenocephala. All species are significant for medical and veterinary health.

  • Helminth fauna of the racoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides Gray, 1834) in Belorussian Polesie.
    Parasitology research, 2002
    Co-Authors: V. Shimalov
    Abstract:

    The racoon dog is a canid species that has been introduced into Belarus and is now widespread throughout nearly the whole territory of this country. Acclimatization of this animal began in the 1930s. To date, racoon dogs have accumulated many helminths from the Belorussian aboriginal animals. This report is the result of the helmintological examination of 78 carcasses and 179 stools of racoon dogs, carried out in natural and transformed ecosystems of Belorussian Polesie (southern part of Belarus, Brest, Gomel regions) between 1981 and 1999. The animals were killed by hunters. The stools were gathered by us on drainage channel banks. The total rate of infection of racoon dogs by helminths was 83.3% (assessed by helmintological dissection, organ compression). These animals are hosts to 25 species of helminths (Table 1). Alaria alata, Isthmiophora melis, Toxocara canis and Uncinaria stenocephala were the most frequently detected parasites. The prevalence of these helminths in the intestine of racoon dogs was 47.4%, 24.4%, 20.5% and 52.6, respectively. The eggs and larvae of helminths were found in 93.1% of racoon dog faecal samples. The most frequently registered were larvae of Strongylata spp (45.8%) and eggs of A. alata (50.8%), Taenia spp (24.6%), Toxocara spp (23.5%) and U. stenocephala (21.8%). All helminth species (except Strongyloides erschovi) are important for medical and veterinary sciences. These species of helminth are known as parasites of humans (all trematode species, Ancylostoma caninum, Dipylidium caninum, Eucoleus aerophilus, Mesocestoides lineatus, Spirometra erinacei, Taenia crassiceps, T. hydatigena, Toxascaris leonina, Toxocara canis, Trichinella spp, Trichuris vulpis, Uncinaria stenocephala), cats and dogs (all helminth species) and pigs (all trematode species except Pseudamphistomum truncatum, D. caninum as a casual parasite, S. erinacei, Taenia hydatigena, Trichinella spp).
