    Abstract

    The effectiveness of the combination of pyrantel pamoate (5 mg kg-1) and ivermectin (6 micrograms kg-1) against the canine hookworms Uncinaria stenocephala and Ancylostoma caninum was determined. This combination is intended for monthly use as a heartworm preventative and for treatment and control of canine hookworms. The formulation was found to be effective (99.6% reduction in worm burdens) against both species of hookworms in experimentally infected dogs. No adverse effects due to the drug combination were observed in any dog during the course of this study.
