critical tests of suspension, paste, and pellet formulations of cambendazole in the horse.	three formulations of cambendazole were evaluated for anthelmintic activity by critical testing method in 21 horses. cambendazole suspension was administered via stomach tube at the dose rate of 10 mg/kg to 3 horses and at the dose rate of 20 mg/kg to 3 horses. cambendazole paste was given intraorally to 8 horses, and the pellet formulation was fed to 7 horses at the dose rate of 20 mg/kg. anthelmintic activity of cambendazole was similar for all dose rates and formulations. gasterophilus intest ...	1975	123710
probstmayria vivipara pinworms in ponies.	from 1967--1978 observations were made on the presence of the small equine pinworm, probstmayria vivipara, in seven experimental ponies. the life cycle of this nematode is unusual in that it is endogenous with development of all stages occurring within the host's digestive tract. initially, worms were found in the feces of four of seven ponies following treatment with thiabendazole but the infection was later transmitted to all ponies possibly via coprophagy. still later, based on fecal and post ...	1979	487251
