The effect of an antibiotic of the streptothricin family against Echinococcus granulosus and Taenia hydatigena infections in dogs.

Abstract	The effect of an antibiotic of the streptothricin class on Echinococcus granulosus and Taenia hydatigena infections has been investigated in a trial involving 160 dogs. The drug showed significant activity in freeing dogs from Thydatigena, but the evidence for similar activity against E granulosus was less well marked. Vomiting and diarrhoea were common sequelae of dosing. The preparation tested consisted of four chemical components and the cestocidal value of each was not determined.
