Abstract:
Peritoneal Echinococcus granulosus in gerbils was treated with albendazole. Both early and late infections were studied; response to albendazole therapy and the ability of the parasite to recover after treatment was found to depend on dose and length of therapy. Even after treatment at 50 mg/kg for 2 months late infections retained the ability to recover over 3 months.
