Abstract
The benzimidazole anthelmintics have broad spectrum activity and are now used in many species of animals against a wide variety of helminth parasites. We believe that a study of the pharmacokinetics of these compounds could assist parasitologists in choosing more appropriate dosages and dose intervals, especially for use against some of the parasites which are more difficult to eradicate.
