Efficacy of albendazole against Haemonchus, Nematodirus, Dictyocaulus, and Monieza of sheep

Am J Vet Res. 1976 Dec;37(12):1515-6.

Abstract

Albendazole was highly efficacious in the removal of monospecific and mixed infection of Haemonchus contortus, Nematodirus spathiger, and Dictyocaulus filaria from sheep. A dose level of 5 mg/kg removed nearly all gastrointestinal nematodes, and 10 mg/kg removed all lungworms. Tapeworms of the genus Moniezia were completely removed by a dose level of 10 hg/kg.
