STUDIES ON THE SCREENING OF ANTIBIOTICS FOR ANTHELMINTIC USE.
Abstract
Although many kinds of anthelminthics are used for treatment of parasitic infections, most of them show relatively high toxic side-effects for patients. In addition, there are some kinds of parasitic infections for which special treatment has not yet been found. Therefore, development of antibiotics which are less toxic for patients and more effective against helminthic infections has been desired during a couple of decades. The purpose of the present investigation is to detect antibiotics which is effective against schistosome and nematode infections. Experiments were performed in dual purpose: to compare anti-schistosomal action of the antibiotic substances with that of some anti-schistosomal drugs currently used, and to evaluate possibility of using Nematospiroides dubius, trichostrongyle of mice, as a criterion of anti-nematode action of drugs.
