Abstract: | Diminazene diaceturate (Berenil, Hoechst) at 12 mg/kg intramuscularly (i/m) and repeated after 24 hours controlled the rising parasitaemia of Babesia equi infection in four out of five splenectomised donkeys. The drug was more effective in the early stages of the disease and had a prophylactic effect for at least 30–35 days.A new babesicide, imidocarb (Imizol, Burroughs Wellcome), was 100% effective in three splenectomised donkeys at 5 mg/kg, i/m and repeated after 48 hours. However, imidocarb at 5 or 2 mg/kg i/m with a single injection was only partially effective or ineffective. |
