PHARMACOKINETICS AND EFFICACY OF A SINGLE TOPICAL DOSE OF EPRINOMECTIN IN GIRAFFE ( SPP.).

Growing resistance to current antiparasitic medications, both in livestock and in zoological species under human care, makes it imperative to evaluate available drugs on the market, such as eprinomectin. In this prospective study, five males and one female of reticulated (; = 2), Masai (; = 1), Nubian (; = 2), and hybrid subspecies ( = 1) of giraffe, received 1.5 mg/kg eprinomectin topically along the dorsum.
