| | Raccoon Roundworm Baylisascaris Procyonis |
| | Abstract: The efficacy of six anthelmintics against natural infections of Baylisascaris procyonis in raccoons (n = 7 per drug) was determined in a series of critical tests. | | | The drugs were given via moist cat food as a single dose or once daily for three consecutive days. | | | These results suggest that any of the six anthelmintics can be used at the dose rates tested in a deworming programme for captive raccoons. |
