Avermectin B1a given at a dose level of 0.05 or 0.1 mg/kg of body weight caused rapid removal of Dirofilaria immitis microfilariae from the blood of dogs with heartworm infections. If the adult worms were also killed with an arsenical (melarsoprol), the removal of microfilariae was permanent.
以0.05或0.1毫克/千克体重的剂量给予阿维菌素B1a,可使感染犬心丝虫的犬血液中的犬恶丝虫微丝蚴迅速清除。如果成虫也用一种砷剂(美拉胂醇)杀死,微丝蚴的清除就是永久性的。
