What's the difference between anthelmintic and vermifugal?
Anthelmintic
Definition:
(a.) Good against intestinal worms.
(n.) An anthelmintic remedy.
Example Sentences:
(1) The efficacy of other anthelmintics which have been used against paramphistomes in sheep is reviewed.
(2) All other broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintics, regardless of substituent at the 2 position (methyl carbamate or thiazolyl group), are flat.
(3) It can be used as a simple screening procedure to help determine which of many possible anthelmintic control strategies should be selected for more detailed examination in the field, and it provides a theoretical framework within which ideas concerning the epidemiology of parasitic gastroenteritis can be assessed and refined.
(4) As the result of differences in drug intake by individual calves, a pelleted feed additive given as top dress on chopped alfalfa hay gave an unsatisfactory mean anthelmintic response.
(5) Halogenated anthelmintics were not metabolized to GSH conjugates in the helminths studied and did not inhibit GSH-S-aryltransferase activity towards chlorodinitrobenzene.
(6) One of these groups was given three anthelmintic treatments with ivermectin at 4-week intervals starting in late July.
(7) Factors which may contribute to the high incidence of anthelmintic resistance are discussed and the possibility of widespread resistance occurring in other sheep raising areas is considered.
(8) Controlled trials were used to assess the efficacy of various anthelmintics against immature and adult paramphistomes in 75 experimentally or naturally infected sheep.
(9) The genetic activity of several medical grades of the anthelmintic drug pyrvinium pamoate, which is a dipyrvinium salt, was studied in a diploid mitotic recombination and gene conversion assay (strain D5 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and in several haploid yeast reversion assays (strains XV185-14C, XY718-1A, and 7854-1A).
(10) The anthelmintic efficacy of ivermectin (administered subcutaneously at 200 micrograms kg-1 body weight) was assessed for control of Thelazia skrjabini in experimentally infected calves.
(11) Minimal larval translation occurred during summer when meteorological conditions limited pasture infectivity as effectively as anthelmintic treatments.
(12) The caecal mucosa of wild young and adult grouse infected naturally with Trichostrongylus tenuis was examined by means of scanning electron microscopy and compared with adult grouse which had been treated with an anthelmintic.
(13) The anthelmintic effects of anti-tapeworm drugs, bithionol, paromomycin sulphate, flubendazole and mebendazole on immature and mature Hymenolepis nana in mice were compared.
(14) Three-year-old, non-lactating and non-pregnant Merino ewes, raised on pasture under a program of strategic treatment with anthelmintic and found to be extremely resistant to "trickle" infection with Haemonchus contortus, were given single-dose infections with either H. contortus or Trichostrongylus colubriformis or both species together.
(15) A series of trials to establish the anthelmintic efficiency of levamisole, when applied dermally to calves, is described.
(16) Recently five further strains of H contortus have been found which show resistance to these anthelmintics.
(17) This is 538% return on funds invested in anthelmintic treatment.
(18) Larvae at the late fourth stage of development were highly susceptible to certain benzimidazole, prebenzimidazole, imidazothiazole, pyrimidine, quaternary ammonium, organophosphorus and macrocyclic lactone anthelmintics when any of these were included at very low concentrations in the culture medium.
(19) Anthelmintic treatment resulted in the evacuation of adult males and females of O. bifurcum.
(20) The differences in the effects of flavins and inhibitors on mammalian and nematode azo- and nitro-reductases might have practical significance in the development of anthelmintic synergists.
Vermifugal
Definition:
(a.) Tending to prevent, destroy, or expel, worms or vermin; anthelmintic.
Example Sentences:
(1) The degree of infestation and the response to vermifuge therapy could be determined with precision by retrograde cholangiography.
(2) Attention is drawn to the varied clinical and radiological presentation and the relationship of volvulus to the use of vermifuge.
(3) The instillation of intraluminal vermifuge intra-operatively has minimized postoperative worm migration through suture lines and anastomoses.
