Abstract:
:From time to time, reports of anthelmintic trials are published indicating that a compound is, or is not, effective against Echinococcus granulosus in dogs. In some of these reports, an attempt is made to assess the efficacy of the compound from inadequate data. This paper reviews the problems associated with selecting, screening and defining the therapeutic dose-rate of a compound against E. granulosus. From this evaluation, a programme is defined, which, if followed, should result in the selection of promising compounds and the rejection of unsuccessful compounds at specific stages during the programme.

杂志文章abstract::DDE and the o,p' and p,p' isomers of DDT were assayed in 94 human biopsy fat samples from hospitals in Delhi by gas chromatography. DDT was present in all except 2 samples at concentrations from 0.17 to 176.5 mg per kg of body fat. The average total DDT content was 21.8+/-2.9 mg/kg, of which 45.9% was DDE. The average...
