Abstract
Conclusions
(1) A rather large amount of sulfanilamide, 0.96 g per kilo of body weight daily, used over a period of 6 weeks reduced the number of trichinella encysting in the muscles of rats by 55%. (2) The continuous use of phenothiazine, in a dosage approximately one-tenth that of sulfanilamide, over a period of 6 weeks reduced the severity of trichinous infection in rats by 74% and warrants further experimentation. (3) Thionol is of little use in reducing the severity of trichinous infestation in rats.
