Praziquantel injectable formulation was administered at 0.5 mg k-1 per os to 24 equids naturally infected with 1-183 (average 40) Anoplocephala perfoliata. Drug activity was evaluated by a modified critical test method with necropsy 24 h after treatment. There was variable efficacy of 0-100% (aggregate average 85%); for 18 equids, 93-100%, for three equids, 70-85%, and for three equids, 0-20%.
