Echinococcus granulosus , drugs used

Clinical use Niclosamide is one of two drugs of choice (with praziquantel) for infections caused by beef, pork, and fish tapeworm infections. However, it is not effective in cysticer-cosis (for which albendazole or praziquantel is used) or hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus (for which albendazole is used). Scoleces and cestode segments are killed, but ova are not. Niclosamide is effective in the treatment of infections due to small and large intestinal flukes. [Pg.472]
