A new crystalline antimicrobial compound, geldanamycin, has been discovered in the culture nitrates of Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. geldanus var. nova. Geldanamycin is moderately active in vitro against protozoa, bacteria and fungi. It is also active against L-1210 and KB cells growing in culture and against the parasite Syphacia ohlevata, in vivo. The fermentation, assay, chromatography and...

The objective of this study was to investigate the anthelmintic efficacy of drug (Butea monosperma) in Syphacia muris infected mice. The drugs were administrated to the infected mice on 18 , 19 and 20 post th th th infection days. The % efficacy due to test drug was observed on Larva and Adult worm recovery response. Larval and Adult worm recovery were found to be directly proportional to the d...

To determine geographical patterns of natural parasite infections among wild rodents, a total of 46 wild rodents from 3 different localities in northern Gangwon-do (Province), Korea were examined for intestinal parasite infections. Along with nematodes such as hookworms and Syphacia spp., Plagiorchis muris (2 specimens) (Trematoda) were collected from striped field mice, Apodemus agrarius. In a...
