Ten cotton-topped tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) were infected with Moniliformis clarki a parasitic acanthocephalan. One animal died of intestinal perforation and peritonitis before treatment was initiated. Five of the remaining tamarins were treated successfully with oral albendazole at either 50 mg/kg b.i.d. for 16 days or 100 mg/kg b.i.d. for 3 days, then repeated biweekly for four treatments. A less-intensive treatment regime of 50 mg/kg albendazole orally s.i.d. for 3 days and monthly repeated treatments was unsuccessful. Parasites were removed via surgical enterotomy from two animals, both of which continued to shed acanthocephalan eggs postoperatively.
十只棉顶狨猴（僧面猴属）感染了克拉克念珠棘头虫，一种寄生性棘头虫。在开始治疗前，有一只动物死于肠穿孔和腹膜炎。其余五只狨猴中，五只成功接受了口服阿苯达唑治疗，剂量为50毫克/千克，每日两次，持续16天，或100毫克/千克，每日两次，持续3天，然后每两周重复治疗四次。一种强度较低的治疗方案，即口服阿苯达唑50毫克/千克，每日一次，持续3天，每月重复治疗，未取得成功。通过手术肠切开术从两只动物体内取出了寄生虫，这两只动物术后仍继续排出棘头虫卵。
