Studies with Brugia pahangi 12. The activity of levamisole
Autor(es): Rogers R,Denham D A
Resumo: The effects of levamisole on adults, third stage infective larvae, and microfilariae of Brugia pahangi were studied in in vitro culture and in vivo against developing stages in the vector mosquito and in infected cats. In vitro the drug was effective only at dose levels much higher than can be tolerated by mammals. It was active against the developmental stages of the worm in the vector Aedes aegypti. The drug was strongly microfilaricidal in cats but less effective against adult worms.
