Fecal samples were examined immediately before and 24 to 48 h after cestocide treatment for a comparative detection of tapeworm-positive horses. In early winter, 17 weanlings, 20 yearlings, 15 2-year-old horses, 24 breeding mares, and 2 stallions were treated with praziquantel in combination with a macrocyclic lactone. The horses were presumed to be naturally infected with tapeworms after pasture grazing. Fecal samples were collected before treatment (Day 0), at 24 or 48 h after treatment (Day 1-2), and 16 to 21 d after treatment (Day 16-21). A Wisconsin test was done on all fecal samples. Odds of detection of infection for all age groups increased by a factor of 2.04 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.30 to 3.20] from Day 0 to Day 1-2 (P = 0.002).
在进行灭绦虫治疗前以及治疗后24至48小时立即检查粪便样本，以比较检测出感染绦虫的马匹。初冬时节，17匹断奶幼驹、20匹一岁马、15匹两岁马、24匹繁殖母马和2匹种马接受了吡喹酮与大环内酯类药物联合治疗。这些马匹在放牧后被认为自然感染了绦虫。在治疗前（第0天）、治疗后24或48小时（第1 - 2天）以及治疗后16至21天（第16 - 21天）采集粪便样本。对所有粪便样本进行威斯康星检测。从第0天到第1 - 2天，所有年龄组感染检测的几率增加了2.04倍[95%置信区间（CI）：1.30至3.20]（P = 0.002）。
