determinants of the longevity of third-stage infective larvae of ancylostoma tubaeforme.the effects of some extrinsic factors on the lipid (energy) reserves and longevity of third-stage larvae of the cat hookworm ancylostoma tubaeforme, were investigated under controlled laboratory conditions. in nonstressful microenvironmental conditions, larval longevity was directly related to the rate of utilisation of the lipid reserves. the effects of the various environmental stresses on longevity could also be explained largely on the basis of their deleterious effects on the lipid metaboli ...197944307
anthelmintic efficacy of milbemycin d against toxocara cati and ancylostoma tubaeforme in domestic cats.anthelmintic efficacy of milbemycin d was evaluated against toxocara cati and ancylostoma tubaeforme in domestic cats. twelve cats naturally infected with each nematode species were allocated among 2 groups of 6 animals each, and milbemycin d was orally administered to the 2 groups of cats in doses of 0.05 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg body weight, respectively. in all the cats infected with t. cati, fecal egg counts decreased followed by their disappearance from the feces and 2-35 worms were excreted int ...19911836368
